Aspirants file papers even before BJP names them
Belgavi: In an interesting development, two BJP nominees — Abhay Patil and Anil Benake — filed nomination papers even before the party announced its third list of candidates, that contained their names, on Friday.
While the list was released on the party website at around 5 O’ Clock in the evening, the two had filed their nomination papers before 3 p.m., the closing time for filing nomination papers. There were two reasons for this — one, they had obtained the forms on Thursday and that they had to file nomination papers on Friday, that they considered was auspicious.
The nominees said that they were confident of getting party ticket and had received the B forms in Bengaluru on Thursday itself. In Khanapur, the party chose Maratha leader Vithal Halgekar, and not Babu Remani and in Kittur, it chose young leader Mahantesh Doddagoudar.
