Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Tuesday urged voters to give the Congress a decisive mandate in the upcoming Dhule Municipal Corporation Elections, calling for single-party rule similar to the party’s performance in the Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a public meeting in Dhule, Sapkal said the Congress was a party that believed in unity in diversity, while accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in divisive politics by fuelling caste and religious differences. He said the Congress had delivered strong results in the Lok Sabha Elections and municipal polls and had sent Shobha Bachhav to Parliament from Dhule, and now deserved full control of the civic body.
