MCDCC bank elections: Filing of nomination ends
Mysuru: The filing of nomination papers for the elections to the board of directors of the Mysuru-Chamarajanagar District Central Cooperative bank (MCDCC) concluded on Wednesday.
As polls to elect 17 directors for MCDCC were scheduled to take place on June 26, the last day saw a big rush for the filing of nominations at the office of the deputy commissioner in Siddharth Nagar.
The district administration office witnessed a flurry of activities with the candidates accompanied by their party workers and supporters, even though the elections to these posts were held non-political, without any respective party symbols.
MLAs GD Harish Gowda (Hunsur-JD(S), Anil Chikkamadu (HD Kote-Congress), former MLA Sunitha Veerappagowda, who is a Congress functionary, and several other bigwigs in cooperatives filed their nominations. Even former minister and Chamarajanagar MLA C Puttarangashetty, MLA HM Ganeshprasad, former MLA R Narendra, and others also filed nominations for the election.
All the three political parties have taken these elections as a prestige issue to take control of this cooperative bank that has an annual business turnover of Rs 2,500 crore and plays a crucial role in agriculture financing in the twin districts of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar.

Speaking to reporters after filing nomination papers, Harish Gowda, the outgoing president, exuded confidence about his win in the polls as cooperatives of the twin districts have kept a lot of faith in him and supported his candidature beyond political affiliations.
He said that he worked hard to strengthen the MCDCC bank and took deposit amounts to Rs 1,000 crore from Rs 370 crore. The state govt is holding the elections after a one-year delay following directions from the high court, he said.
