A corporator from Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction in Mumbai has lost their seat after their caste certificate was declared invalid. The decision comes amidst political developments concerning the party.
In a significant development in Mumbai's political landscape, a corporator belonging to Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) has been disqualified. The decision follows a thorough examination of the corporator's caste certificate, which was found to be fraudulent.
Consequently, the corporator has been stripped of their position. This setback for the UBT faction occurs at a time when the party is already navigating internal challenges, including recent defections by some Members of Parliament.
The invalidation of the caste certificate raises serious questions about the verification process and its implications for local governance. Further details regarding the specific caste and the authority that made the ruling are awaited.
