Six out of seven corporators of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena joined the Shiv Sena, giving the party, which rules the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), an edge over the BJP.
With this, Shiv Sena's strength in the BMC, the country's richest municipal body, has increased to 90, eight more than that of BJP. Of late, relations between the Sena and BJP, which are in alliance at the Centre and in Maharashtra, have been strained.
MNS corporators Dilip Lande, Archana Bhalerao, Snehal More, Datta Narvankar, Parashuram Kadam and Ashwini Matekar joined the Shiv Sena in presence of its chief Uddhav Thackeray .
Uddhav Thackeray said nobody should accuse the Sena of “poaching“ as this was homecoming.
