followed by the adjournment of the house. The day ended abruptly with
the expulsion of Congress corporator Chhote Yadav. Sensing trouble,
mayor Krishnamurari Moghe left the house in haste.
Later in the day, a group of Congress corporators
led by MLA Ashwin Joshi, rushed to the mayor’s house and attempted to
enter inside. It resulted in a scuffle between the Congress and BJP
corporators. Miffed at the way the proceedings of the House were
conducted, the Congress corporators demanded a meeting with the mayor
seeking an explanation from him. However, they were forced out by the BJP corporators and police.
