Maharashtra Civic Polls: Shinde Faction Gathers Corporators Amidst Political Buzz

Ahead of the much-anticipated Maharashtra civic elections, a notable political development has emerged. Reports indicate that Eknath Shinde's political faction has strategically gathered a group of its elected members. Specifically, 29 corporators affiliated with the Shinde camp have been moved to a hotel, a common tactic in Indian politics to prevent defections or ensure solidarity before crucial votes or political events.

CM Devendra Fadnavis Rules Out Poaching Allegations

In response to the speculation surrounding this move, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has issued a clear statement. Addressing concerns about potential "poaching" โ€“ the act of luring elected representatives from rival parties โ€“ CM Fadnavis firmly stated that there is "no question" of such activities. His remarks aim to quell rumors and assure political stability during the intense campaigning period for the upcoming local body elections across Maharashtra.

This strategic gathering of corporators by the Shinde group is seen by political observers as a proactive measure to maintain unity and ensure all members are aligned ahead of the crucial civic polls. Such moves often highlight the high stakes involved in Maharashtra's local governance elections, where every seat and every corporator holds significant political weight.
