Veteran co-operators led by NCUI President Dileep Sanghani have won the majority of seats in the ongoing elections of the Gujarat State Cooperative Marketing Federation (Gujcomasol). Gujcomasol is the state apex co-op marketing federation with a huge turnover.
Those declared victorious uncontested include veterans like Dileepbhai Sanghani from Amreli, Rajkot District Cooperative Bank Chairman Jayesh Radadiya, Kribhco Director Maganbhai from Morbi, GCMMF former Vice-Chairman Jetha Bharwad, Sabarkantha DCCB Chairman Mahesh Bhai, Gujcomasol outgoing Vice-Chairman Govindbhai Parmar from Gir- Somnath, and others.
The board consists of 32 elected directors out of which 26 directors have been elected unopposed and the elections for six seats would be held on 19th June in Ahmedabad.
The elections are due for six seats including Kheda, Bhavnagar, Patan, Navsari, Chhota Udaipur and Jamnagar. More than 12 candidates are trying their luck in the elections of Gujcomasol.
It is being reported that there will be intense fighting in Kheda and Bhavnagar constituencies where from Bhavnagar BJP and Congress fielded Mahesh Patel and Dhiru Chavda respectively and from Kheda Congress and BJP fielded Naubhai Waghani and Arjun Yadav respectively. The leaders standing from the said constituency are having a solid presence in their respective districts.
The sources added that Dileepbhai Sanghani will again be elected as the Chairman of Gujcomasol. Though the dates of elections for Chairman and Vice-Chairman have not yet been announced, it will be done soon after the elections of the board.
Talking to Indian Cooperative, Sanghani, who is also contesting global agri co-op body ICAO, said that Gujcomasol is his base and he cannot afford to take these elections lightly. Dividing his time between local and global campaigning, Sanghani has devoted time to each of the constituencies. ICAO elections are scheduled for June 17 and Sanghani has plans to visit France and other countries after his successful trip to Malaysia and other countries.
Coming to Gujcomasol, JB Desai has been appointed as the returning officer from overseeing the election process.
Readers would recall that the candidates filed their nominations between 25th May to 1st June and the list after scrutiny was displayed on 3rd June. The candidates were allowed to withdraw their names between 4th June to 8th June 2022.
It bears recall that recently Union Home and Cooperative Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a new building of Gujcomasol at GIDC in Gandhinagar. The newly constructed head office of Gujcomasol is spread in a big area that is becoming a farmers’ hub.
