Maharashtra Municipal Corporator Nominations Prompt Political Activity and Disputes
Political activity has intensified in Maharashtra's municipal corporations as parties finalize nominations for corporator posts. In Nashik, the Bombay High Court set a deadline for appointing 10 nominated corporators, with the BJP expected to secure six seats amid strong competition. Meanwhile, in Bhiwandi, the nomination of nine corporators sparked internal conflicts within the Samajwadi Party and Congress, leading to the expulsion of six SP corporators and protests by Congress members over candidate selections. Both processes highlight local political tensions and administrative oversight.
