In a surprise political turn in Ambarnath, the local BJP unit has joined hands with the Congress and the NCP to form the ruling alliance in the municipal council, sidelining the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena despite it emerging as the single largest party. The Shiv Sena, which won 27 of the total seats, had been widely expected to align with the BJP after the polls, but the BJP instead stitched together a post-election coalition with the Congress, which has 14 councillors, and the NCP, which holds four seats. The move has triggered sharp protests from the Shiv Sena, a BJP ally in the ruling Mahayuti at the state level. With the new alliance in place, the Sena will now sit in the opposition in a council it had governed for over three decades. The BJP, which secured 14 seats, also clinched the council presidentā€™s post, with its candidate Tejashree Karanjule defeating the Shiv Sena nominee.Ā Hidayatullah Patel Murder Case: Maharashtra Congress Vice President Dies After Being Stabbed at Mosque in Akola.
