Shinde's Corporators 'Locked' in Taj Hotel Ahead of Mumbai Mayoral Election

• Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena has moved all its newly elected corporators to the Taj Lands End hotel in Bandra.
• The corporators were instructed to check in by 3 PM today, a move aimed at preventing political poaching after the municipal election results.
• They will stay at the luxurious hotel for three days, during which future strategies and mayoral election discussions will take place.
• This 'hotel politics' mirrors a similar strategy used during the state's power struggle, sparking political discussions.
• The primary objective is to isolate corporators from other parties and maintain party unity ahead of crucial decisions.

Why It Matters: Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena is using 'hotel politics' to secure corporators before the Mumbai mayoral election.
