Bharatiya Janata Party’s corporator Dimpal Mehta has been elected as the new Mayor in Maharashtra’s Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation. Her election has triggered strong opposition from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES), who are demanding that only a Marathi-speaking leader should be appointed as Mayor. The Mira Bhayandar civic body has 95 corporators. Among them, the BJP holds a dominant position with 78 elected members. The Congress has 13 corporators, the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) has 3, and one BJP rebel candidate also registered a victory. Notably, the rebel corporator Anil Patil has also extended support to the BJP.
