Mukta Tilak, a four-time Corporator of BJP and a descendant of freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak, today filed papers for Mayor's polls and is set to get the post given her party's majority in the new civic body.
Tilak (52) filed nomination form for the post of Mayor after BJP cleared her candidature. The election is scheduled for March 15.
The BJP won 98 of the 162 seats in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) in the last month's elections, enough for Tilak to get the prestigious post.
Tilak completed her graduation in psychology from Fergusson College and later did MBA (marketing) from IMDR, Pune. She also holds a diploma in journalism from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
She worked as a market research analyst in MNCs before entering politics and had been elected Corporator four times.
Navnath Kamble of RPI (A), an ally of BJP, has filed nomination for the Deputy Mayor's post.
