Satej Patil-Led Panel Wins Gokul Milk Union Elections in Kolhapur
In the Gokul Milk Union elections in Kolhapur, the Congress-backed Rajarshi Shahu Shetkari Samvichari Aghadi, led by MLC Satej Patil, won a majority of seats, defeating the Mahayuti-backed panel led by Minister Hasan Mushrif. The election saw nearly 100% voter turnout among cooperative members. Key figures like Navid Mushrif and Shoumika Mahadik lost their seats. Patil alleged invalidation of votes affected results, while Mahayuti leaders accepted the outcome, citing internal alliance issues and invalid votes as factors.
