No politics in coop bank appointment, says UBT's Tejasvee Ghosalkar
Mumbai: A day after being appointed as a director on the Mumbai District Central Co-operative Bank (MDCCB), former Shiv Sena (UBT) corporator Tejasvee Ghosalkar said on Saturday that politics and the cooperative sector were two different things.
Ghosalkar stated that it would be wrong to view her appointment through a political lens. She said that she did not receive any offer from the BJP to join Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and that she remained with Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray.
"I sincerely thank the chairman of the bank, Pravin Darekar, and the entire board of directors for unanimously electing me to the post of director of Mumbai District Central Cooperative Bank.
The post was vacant after my husband Abhishek Ghosalkar's death. A year ago, my father-in-law Vinod Ghosalkar and I met Darekar and requested him in this regard. He told us he would try to get this done. The true spirit of cooperation is to keep the political party leaning out of the cooperative sector, so it would be very wrong to look at this decision from a political perspective," Tejasvee Ghosalkar said.
"This is an important and first chapter of my life in the cooperative sector, but I assure you that I will do a good job by utilising the experience of the work done by my family so far and the knowledge gained from Abhishek.

I once again thank all the leadership. I am still with Uddhav Thackeray Ji, and he knew about me trying for an appointment as director of the bank," Tejasvee Ghosalkar said.
BJP MLC and chairman of MDCCB said on Friday that the bank's board appointed Tejasvee Ghosalkar as one of the bank's directors. The appointment has created ripples in political circles, leading to speculation that Tejasvee could be on her way to the BJP ahead of the BMC polls.
