Mumbai: Amid reports of newly-elected corporators of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena being shifted to Taj Lands End in Mumbai to avoid getting poached, the party said that they are attending a three-day workshop in which they are being told about functioning and various aspects of the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation.
Shinde, the deputy chief minister and Shiv Sena chief leader, will guide the corporators about the city’s development plan, implementation of the election manifesto, and preparation of a roadmap for the next five years.
Yuva Sena General Secretary and corporator Amey Ghole said in these three days, senior party leaders are also expected to guide the corporators.
Shinde had instructed the corporators to begin work immediately to justify the trust placed in Shiv Sena by the people.
“Accordingly, Shiv Sena corporators attended the guidance camp the very next day after the election results were declared,” Ghole said.
Senior party leaders will also brief them on the procedures of the BMC and provide guidance on effective governance in their respective wards.
In addition, strategies and campaign plans for the upcoming Zilla Parishad elections will be discussed.
Ghole further stated that the Mayor of Mumbai will be from the Maha Yuti alliance, and that senior leaders of the allied parties will take a decision in this regard.
In municipal corporation elections across the state, Shiv Sena has secured the election of 397 corporators.
This includes 29 corporators in Mumbai, 75 in Thane, 54 in Kalyan-Dombivli, 42 in Navi Mumbai, 36 in Ulhasnagar, 26 in Nashik, 22 in Jalgaon, 15 in Kolhapur, 13 in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and 12 in Jalna.
The success achieved by Shiv Sena in municipal corporations across the state reflects the people’s faith in Shiv Sena and in the leadership of Shinde, Ghole said.
