Shinde's 29 Corporators Register Group
Eknath Shinde, a leader in the Shiv Sena party, is planning to officially register a group of 29 corporators.
This is expected to happen on Monday at a place called Belapur’s Konkan Bhavan in Navi Mumbai.
Once registered, this group will be protected by a law that prevents members from switching parties easily.
This move is seen as a strategy to stop other politicians from trying to convince these corporators to leave their group.
The Shiv Sena is waiting for an official government document called a gazette before they can proceed with the registration.
The group includes a mix of first-time and experienced corporators, some of whom have political family backgrounds.
The move is part of a larger political strategy ahead of crucial decisions in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections.
Eknath Shinde is leading a group of 29 Shiv Sena corporators for official registration.
The registration is expected to take place on Monday at Belapur’s Konkan Bhavan in Navi Mumbai.
This move aims to invoke the anti-defection law to prevent horse-trading and protect the group from defections.
The group includes a mix of first-time and experienced corporators, some with political family backgrounds.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut criticized the Shinde faction for seeking power from Delhi, alleging they are surrendering Mumbai's pride to the BJP.
