 Uproar in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation on the very first day... Uproar in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation on the very first day In the BMC Mayoral elections , 24 Congress corporators were denied seats in the House. Denying seats to elected Congress corporators in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation is not a simple administrative decision. It is not just an insult to the Congress Party , but also an insult to the democratic voice of millions of Mumbaikars who have elected them to represent them. This attitude of the BJP , after winning a majority for the first time, exposes its intolerance and nervousness. Attempting to suppress dissent immediately after gaining power is against the very spirit of democracy and demonstrates that the BJP is using its majority as a weapon of oppression, not service. On the very first day, the Congress took an aggressive stance in the House, raising its voice for the public. All councilors entered the House wearing anti- pollution masks. Under t...
