On June 18, KDMC mayor Vaijanti Gholap hurried the proposal through and reportedly played the national anthem right after, to silence dissenters. Congress party workers yesterday demanded Gholap’s resignation for her actions.

Umesh Borgoankar, NCP corporator said, “Money power was used to reinstate him.”

Ramnath Sonawane, commissioner, KDMC said: “I have sent a report to the state government about this proposal. It was passed without any regard for rules.”
