    Despite clear defeat in polls BJP tried all means to snatch a mayor post, using LG office. Luckily, SC came to rescue the democracy and people. Getting nominated members to vote, was nothing but crime against democracy. With media and many agencies made to play tango with BJP Govt., everything so far was going in favor of BJP. It is really sad. Hope that SC once again stays firm and proves itself specially in Shindhe case, in Shiv Sena crisis.
