Detailed instructions have been given in the relevant letter. The state office has received a complaint that the District Selection Board of the Nagpur Rural District Congress Committee has not met regarding the municipal council and municipal panchayat elections in Nagpur district. Therefore, on the advice of state president Harshvardhan Sapkal, since the district selection board has not met, there will be no discussion on the selection of candidates for the municipal council and municipal panchayat elections in Nagpur district before the state selection board to be held in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The district selection board meeting should be held on November 12. Instructions have been given to invite the district in-charge, assembly in-charge and members of the district selection board to this meeting. After the discussion in this meeting, information should be presented before the state selection board at 12.30 pm on Thursday, November 13. It is also known that former MLA Virendra Jagtap will interview those interested in the post of mayor in this meeting.

What exactly happened?
The elections to 27 municipal councils and municipal panchayats in Nagpur district will be held on December 2. For this, the Congress has formed a district selection committee. It includes current and former office bearers and seniors. The party expects that the interviews should be conducted in their presence.

The Rural Congress had organized interviews of aspirants in its office on Friday last week. While doing so, they did not call the party's election observers. They also called workers of a specific group of the party and interviewed them. Another group of the party had complained about this meeting directly to the state president Sapkal.

After this, former MLA in-charge of Nagpur Rural, Virendra Jagtap, along with district in-charge Uday Maghe and senior leader Ashokrao Bobde, had reached Nagpur. After this meeting, factionalism in the Congress has once again become apparent on the eve of the elections.
