"As per the directives received from
Divisional Commissioner Jayant Gaikwad, we are fully ready to hold
the Mayor and Deputy Mayor elections today at the scheduled time",

elect the Mayor and after a gap of half an hour to elect the
Deputy Mayor. They will elect their preferred candidates by
raising hands, he said.

enough seats to elect a mayor on its own, Congress had emerged as
the single largest party with 25 councilors. The Teesra Mahaz cam
second winning 19 councilors. Both formed an alliance later on.
