NCP expels 18 corporators for voting for BJP's mayoral candidate
The Nationalist Congress Party has expelled all 18 of its newly elected corporators in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar for voting in favour of BJP's Babasaheb Wakale during the mayoral poll in the civic body. The NCP said, "No one can hijack the party by defying its whip." Wakale won the poll despite BJP having 14 members in the 68-member Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation.
