Shiv Sena withdrew its candidate from the fray after Davkhare called on party chief Bal Thackeray at his residence 'Matoshree' in suburban Bandra yesterday. ''The election was scheduled for May 28.'' NCP spokesman Madan Bafna said his party, to which Davkhare belongs, Congress and other allies had a comfortable majority in the Thane district local bodies. "Davkhare enjoys good personal equations with all political parties in the district. It was going to be a one- sided election. Our party is satisfied that the Opposition candidate withdrew from the race. We thank all the political parties which helped facilitate the election of Davkhare unopposed," he said. ''This will be Davkhare's fourth term in the Council from the Thane self-government local bodies seat.'' Bafna said Davkhare's election, coupled with the massive victory of the party in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation polls last month, has boosted the NCP's morale in the neighbouring district. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vasant Davkhare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
