Before the elections of Mayor and Deputy Mayor in Malegaon Municipal Corporation, politics has suddenly taken a new turn. Some councilors of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress, who are considered ideologically opposed to each other, have come together and formed a new political front. This incident has created a stir in the politics of the entire city.
According to sources, 3 councilors of Congress and two of BJP have together formed an independent group named ‘Bharat Vikas Aghadi’. The coming together of councilors from parties that usually contest elections against each other is a surprise for everyone. This is being considered a rare and important development in local politics.
Equations changed in the 84-member House
The total number of members of Malegaon Municipal Corporation is 84. In the current situation no party has a clear majority. In such a situation, this new front of 5 councilors can play a decisive role in breaking or creating the balance of power. It is believed that this group can prove to be the ‘kingmaker’ in the elections of Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
Command in the hands of Ajaz Baig
According to sources, this newly formed ‘Bharat Vikas Aghadi’ will be led by Congress councilor Ejaz Baig. It is being told that the Morcha has been formed in the name of giving priority to the development and stable administration of the city. However, the real political strategy behind this will become clear in the coming days.
The results of the Municipal Corporation elections have already been declared, but the election of Mayor and Deputy Mayor is yet to be held. At such a time, the formation of this new front can also affect the strategy of other parties. Political experts say that the coming few days will prove to be very important for the politics of Malegaon.
The formation of ‘Bharat Vikas Aghadi’ has made it clear that even bigger upheavals can be seen in the politics of Malegaon before the mayor elections.
