POLITICAL UPS & DOWNS IN KMC

Kolhapur Municipal Corporation(KMC) has witnesses a never before political turn around in the past week. The ruling coalition Tararani Front was left to minority when one of the constituent leaders "Maloji Raje Chhatrapati" left the alliance along with 15 corporators to form his new group. It was a unique situation when Congress leader left the Congress led coalition. The master mind behind the working of KMC for last decade and a half "Mahadevrao Mahadhik" a leading businessman & sitting MLC said that he does not believe that the leader of coalition has actually left the alliance.The other leaders of congress however said that they still would like to stay with Mahadhik and that the act by Chhatrapati was a personal deed and not the opinion of the party. The siting MLA of Kolhapur Maloji Raje felt a loss of dignity in interating with the other leaders of coalition. The new group formed by this division later went into a alliance with the Jan Surajya Shakti - Nationalist Congress Party. The JSS-NCP leaders Vinay Kore & Hassan Mushrif welcomed this event with great enthusiasm. On reacting to this Mahadevrao Mahadhik said that he still has the same respect for the yuvraj as he had prior to this event & that he will continue to honor the Royal Family. The Current Mayor Sou.Sai Kharade though being a Congress member has still however not resigned from the post & wishes to stay in power. Surprisingly the other leaders of Tararani Alliance - Karveer's siting MLA Satej Patil & Businessman / activist Dhananjay (Muna) Mahadhik have not given any major statements over the issues.

However all these events happening in this short duration have given Kolhapur people a good point to talk and discuss. Past few days everybody at Kolhapur has been commenting on the situations going on. For some it has been a tense situation while for some a celebration.
