Mumbai:
Campaigning for
the Maharashtra Assembly elections, to be held on October 13, came
to an end this evening with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh rounding
off the Congress electioneering in this commercial capital of the
country.
As many as 3,536
candidates, including President Pratibha Patil's son Rajendra
Shekhawat, are in the fray. Party-wise, Congress has fielded 172
candidates, while its ally NCP is contesting on 114 seats, leaving
two constituencies for the RPI (Gavai) group.
The Shiv Sena-BJP
combine settled for 169:119 formula, whereas the Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena has pitted 125 candidates.
Barring some
sporadic incidents, the campaign in 288 constituencies passed of
peacefully, while 17 policemen were killed in a Naxalite ambush in
Gadchiroli in Vidarbha region. Stray incidents of attacks on
candidates and scuffle between political parties were reported in
Thane, Kalyan and Akkalkot.
In Akkalkot, a BJP
activist was killed in a firing incident, in which the party blamed
the involvement of Congress candidate and state Minister Siddharam
Mhetre.
Also, Shiv Sena
Vadgaon Sheri seat candidate Ajay Bhosale escaped unhurt, while his
friend and driver have received bullet injuries when an unidentified
person fired at them when they were campaigning in Wadgaon Sheri
area in Pune today.
In another
incident in Solapur yesterday, Hanumant Bagal, a kin of NCP Karmala
candidate Shyamal Bagal, received bullet injuries when an
unidentified person fired at them when they were returning home in
Karmala taluka.
The campaigning
was also marred for a brief period initially by torrential rains
that led to postponement and cancellation of meetings to be
addressed by Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi, BJP president Rajnath
Singh and others. Ms Gandhi, who toured the state for three days in
different phases, had a last meeting in Mumbai yesterday. In Pune,
the fear of Swine flu also had an impact on the electioneering.
Shiv Sena
Executive President Uddhav Thackeray and Singh led the campaign for
the saffron alliance, for which Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha L
K Advani, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and his counterpart
in Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed the rallies.
Shiv Sena supremo
Bal Thackeray also appealed to the people to stand united by the
party, in a recorded CD that was played at the meeting at Shiv Park
yesterday. While the Congress-NCP appealed to the people to vote
them to power for the sake of development, accusing the opposition
of engaging in divisive politics, the Sena-BJP played the issues of
power shortage, farmer suicide and unemployment, while claiming to
be the original saviour of Marathi people.
MNS chief Raj
Thackeray, on the other hand, focused entirely on Marathi ''Manoos'',
raking up the issues of migrants, priority for Maharashtrians in
employment, free houses for police personnel and government
officials.
