The names of the winning candidates include Pradeep Sawant, Milind Satam, Alpesh Bhoir, Param Yadav, Shashikant Zore, Sheetal Devrukhkar, Dhanraj Kohchde, Mayur Panchal and Sneha Gawli. Yuva Sena is a strong candidate here since the undivided Shiv Sena. The Mumbai University Senate elections were pending for more than two years and were also mired in controversies due to political developments, after which elections were held once again in 2018, in which the Yuva Sena emerged victorious.
Aditya Thackeray congratulated the candidates
Yuva Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray congratulated all the winning candidates. He said that this was possible only because of the hard work of everyone and the support of the voters. Elections to urban and local bodies in the state are not being held due to fear of defeat. He also thanked the Bombay High Court for ordering the election.
Why are Senate elections important?
The Senate is the highest decision-making and monitoring body of Mumbai University. Which is represented by teachers, principal, college management as well as registered graduates. Student council elections are banned in Maharashtra. Contestants for MU Senate elections should be students of the respective universities and should be separate from Delhi University or Jawaharlal Nehru University student union elections.
