12 Congress Corporators Join BJP in Ambernath; Congress Vows Legal Action

• 12 Congress corporators from Ambernath Municipal Council officially joined the BJP.
• This move followed Congress's displeasure over an alliance with BJP to form power, and a warning of action against its corporators.
• The original alliance aimed to prevent the Shinde faction from gaining power and included NCP (Ajit Pawar faction).
• Congress State President Harshvardhan Sapkal ordered legal action to disqualify the corporators.
• Sachin Sawant stated the move is illegal and unconstitutional, and legal notices will be served.
