Gaikwad faces tough challenge with BMC, LS, assembly polls likely to happen one after another. Mumbai MLAs were unhappy with Jagtap’s interference in their constituencies, it is learnt.
The state government has invited people from various Indian states and abroad who have been working on the Marathi language to attend this three-day conference.
The term of the BMC's publicly elected general body lapsed on 7 March. The Maharashtra cabinet has picked municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal as administrator.
This Friday, Mumbai registered 5,008 cases, down from nearly 6,000 Monday. In the same period, Maharashtra's count rose to 48,270 from 31,111. Positivity rate shows similar trends.
Mumbai Congress chief Ashok Jagtap, who was appointed last month, says party's target is BJP whether Congress fights independently or in alliance with Shiv Sena in Mumbai civic polls.
Shiv Sena corporator Sheetal Mhatre tells Mumbai civic body to take action against shops 'illegally' displaying lingerie mannequins and cancel licences if required.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
