Mr. Sanjay Patil, Research Coordinator under the guidance of Dr. Surendra Jondhale, Professor of the Department of Civics and Politics has conducted a detailed study entitled “Contesting Municipal Elections: Motivations and Strategies (A Study of BMC Elections 2012 and 2017)” prior to the elections in February 2017. The study tries to understand the motivational factors behind candidates contesting various elections. It also tries to understand the various methods used by candidates to influence the voters. The study has come out with some very interesting suggestions and recommendations. I am happy that the above research report is now being published for wider dissemination and future reference. I am sure that various stakeholders would find this report immensely useful. I take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Sanjay Patil and Dr. Surendra Jondhale for the above report. J. S. Saharia State Election Commissioner Maharashtra. Acknowledgements At the outset, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who assisted and supported me during this research work. To begin with, I am extremely grateful to the State Election Commission of Maharashtra and the University of Mumbai for giving me the opportunity and entrusting me with this responsibility. The research was commissioned by the State Election Commission of Maharashtra. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Shri. Jageshwar Saharia, State Election Commissioner, Maharashtra for extending an opportunity, in the form of this project to the Department of Civics and Politics, University of Mumbai. I also wish to extend my gratitude to Shri. Shekhar Channe, Secretary, State Election Commission, Maharashtra, for his involvement in the project through his timely and valuable guidance to me. This project would not have seen the light of the day without the guidance, sheer ambition and goodwill of my excellent teacher and guide Dr. Surendra Jondhale. He was always by my side to extend all possible help for this project. My sincere and heartfelt thanks to Shri. K. Suryakrishnamurty, Deputy Collector, Government of Maharashtra, for his guidance and support throughout the process of the project along with some excellent academic inputs at every stage. I express my gratitude to Dr. Sudha Mohan (Professor & Head), Department of Civics and Politics for allowing me to work on this project and being extremely positive and encouraging at all times. I am thankful to Shri. Jagdish More, PRO, State Election Commission, Maharashtra for his help and support. I would also like to thank officials at the State Election commission namely Ms. Reena Phansekar, Under Secretary, Ms. Pranali Ghonge, Assistant Commissioner, Shri. Atul Jadhav, Section Officer and others for their help and support. I am highly indebted to the Election Department of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, especially Shri. Ramakant Nikam, for his guidance and for providing the necessary information and data of the past years which was of immense help for the project. I wish to send heartfelt thanks to my partner Ms. Ankita Bhatkhande for her overwhelming support and help not only in the entire process of data collection but also for helping me x write more articulately. She has been the biggest source of strength and inspiration for me in the entire process. Data collection was a big task considering the expanse of the city and the need for in- depth interviews. Thanks to Hanmant Wanole, Rajesh Patole and Omkar Waghmare who helped me in collecting the data from old records and conducting interviews for the project. These three stood with me at all times during the entire process. Special thanks to Abin Johnson, Bhavya Gandhi and Heramb Sathye for their help in using statistical tools for data analysis. It would not have been possible to work on a huge data of election results without Hanmant, Abin, Bhavya and Heramb. Scheduling meetings with corporators was an extremely tough task which became simpler with the help of Shri. Yuvraj Mohite (Senior Journalist), Shri. Vinayak Dige and Shri. Sameer Surve. I would like to thank my Ph.D. Guide Dr. Mrudul Nile and other faculty members of the Department for their continuous support and encouragement. Dr. Mrudul Nile is always a great source of inspiration for me in all my research endeavors. His inputs, valuable feedback and networking helped the project immensely.

Last but not the least, I would like thank all the candidates and respondents who took time out from their busy schedules for the interviews which helped the project immensely. Sanjay Pandurang Patil xii Executive Summary The State Election Commission of Maharashtra has taken up the initiative of collaborating with Universities and Civil Society organizations engaged in election-related studies and reforms to undertake research on local bodies of self-governance. The rationale behind it was the lack of systematic studies on local body elections. The current study focuses on the motivations and strategies of the candidates contesting Municipal elections with reference to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections of 2012 and 2017. It is the second report looking at candidate motivations and strategies in local body elections after a detailed study on the Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) Elections of 2015. While looking at the motivations and strategies of candidates, the research aims to look at the entire process of local body elections in today’s day and time- from fielding candidates to winning elections. It also aims to look at some of the concerns raised with respect to elections in today’s times including the increasing use of money and muscle power, electoral malpractices, etc. The study was undertaken with an intention to contribute to the process of policy formulation and election-related reforms by studying local bodies of self-governance in detail. In a megacity like Mumbai whose demographic structure is diverse and complex at the same time, studying electoral processes is a challenging task. The city has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few decades with neo-liberal market forces directly influencing the aspirations and ambitions of its people. Elections at such a juncture are nothing more than a spectacle with a large amount of money being spent on electoral campaigning. With time, electoral activities have also gained sophistication and professionalism as campaigning is assuming newer forms with the excessive use of technology and social media. While understanding the dynamics of elections in such a megacity, it is important to look at the ‘processes’ rather than merely studying the ‘results’. The research is an attempt to understand what goes behind each and every stage in the whole electoral process- from a candidate’s decision to contest an election to campaigning strategies deployed and later electoral results.

  • 14. Formation of State of Maharashtra
    14. Formation of State of Maharashtra After India gained independence, there was demand on large scale for the reconstruction of states on linguistic basis. In Maharashtra also the demand for state of Marathi speaking people led to ‘Samyukta Maharashtra Movement’ from 1946 onwards. Through various changing circumstances the movement progressed and finally on 1 May 1960 the state of Maharashtra came to be formed. Background : From the beginning of 20th century, many scholars had begun to express the thoughts on unification of Marathi speaking people. In 1911, the British Government had to suspend the partition of Bengal. On this background, N.C.Kelkar wrote that ‘the entire Marathi speaking poulation should be under one dominion’. In 1915, Lokmanya Tilak had demanded the reconstruction of a state based on language. But during that period the issue of independence of India was more important, hence this issue remained aside. On 12 May 1946, in the Sahitya Sammelan at Belgaon, an important resolution regarding Samyukta Maharashtra was passed. Samyukta Maharashtra Parishad : On 28 July, ‘Maharashtra Ekikaran Parishad’ was called at Mumbai. Shankarrao Dev was its president. It passed a resolution that all Marathi speaking regions should be included in one state. This should also include Marathi speaking regions of Mumbai, Central provinces as well as Marathwada and Gomantak. Dar Commission : On 17 June 1947, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the President of Constituent Assembly established the ‘Dar Commission’ under the chairmanship of Justice S.K.Dar, for forming linguistic provinces. On 10 December 1948, the report of Dar Commission was published but the issue remained unsolved.
