Horse-trading, AIMIM and VBA helped BJP to install its mayor in Chandrapur: Congress

MUMBAI: (Feb 10) Rattled by the election of a BJP mayor in Chandrapur civic body on the support of its rival Shiv Sena (UBT) on Tuesday, the Congress has alleged horse-trading and blamed the Uddhav Thackeray-led party, AIMIM, and the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi for the development.

He hinted at political consequences across the state.

Political circles in Maharashtra were left stunned when the BJP outsmarted the Congress, which looked better placed to install its mayor, by enlisting the support of Sena (UBT) corporators.
