Well, saw this piece here in the NJ Globe - 'Rival seeks Bhagia resignation after being implicated in the racist flyer scandal.'
Seems Joshi is running with allegations on a tape of Councilman Patil meeting with two community leaders - and wants the EDO Chair to resign his post and withdraw from the race for Mayor.
'As member of the Township Council committee investigating this matter, I have been aware of this recording for some time, but I have been unable to speak about it publicly due to the ongoing review.' Joshi said. Now that is out in the open, I feel that I must speak out on it to ensure that Edison residents are aware of this disgraceful act committed by Chairman Bhagia and his associates leading into the upcoming election.'
Geez, what's in the open? A tape of what Councilman Patil is alleging with no rebuttal as yet. Well, ok - this is what Patil is saying now.
Of course, consider too that Councilman Patil was sitting in judgment on the 'Committee of the Hole' when he had knowledge of the racist flyer yet said nothing for a long time.
Aren't we still dealing with a he said..he said? How do you go from that tape as identified in the piece to Joshi's conclusion?
'Mahesh Bhagia has proven through his involvement in this incident that he is simply the wrong choice to represent our community, and I will not sit back and allow him to run in this election unchallenged' Joshi said.
Now don't get me wrong, nobody wants to know more than me who is behind that 2017 Racist Flyer but this isn't getting to the bottom of anything - it's just one political novice for Mayor proving he's more an opportunist than a worthy candidate. And to all those making contributions to his Mayoral campaign in the Primary (last time I looked) - if you contributed more than $1.00 (in currency no less) to his campaign, then you have that many more times invested in him than he does in himself.
Not for nothing, but Joshi should stick to making childish and self-serving charts like this with his electronic crayons and leave the race for Mayor to the Adults in town:
You know, I always have hope that the EDO would return by action to their old motto of 'People Not Politics' but these days it seems they're running with 'When Rats Run Out of Food, they Eat their own.'
Anyhoo, had enough of the EDO and it's back-stabbing antics yet?
