Latur, Aug 18 (PTI) A meeting of members of OBCs and nomadic tribes on Sunday resolved to stake a claim to Ausa assembly constituency in Latur district of Maharashtra and field a candidate in upcoming elections.
Several members of backward classes and tribal communities attended the meeting presided over by Haribhau Gaikwad, the state president of Bhatkya Vimukt Sanghatna.
A resolution was passed to contest the election from Ausa seat given that 75 to 80 per cent of the population belongs to the OBC and nomadic tribes, a delegate said.
Similar electoral strategies will be explored in the remaining five constituencies in Latur district, he said.
