Ulhasnagar witnessed a controversial special general body meeting on Thursday as the nomination of seven corporators was briefly halted due to the presence of a suspended BJP corporator. The election process was disrupted when Mayor Ashwini Nikam ordered the removal of Pradhan Patil, who had been previously suspended from three general body meetings. Patil ultimately left the proceedings, allowing the election to continue.
However, the meeting faced additional complications when the list of BJP nominees was unexpectedly changed at the last minute. Dr. S.B. Singh and advocate Poonam Gupta were originally on the list, but were replaced with Hema Pinjani and Asha Pawar. The altered nominee list prompted objections from BJP district president Rajesh Wadharia, who threatened to seek legal action against the Mayor and the House Leader.
The incident added a new political dimension to the nomination process, with the controversy surrounding Patil's presence and the sudden change in the nominees dominating the proceedings. The developments at the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation have left the community in a state of uncertainty, as the situation continues to unfold.
