Uddhav Sena Kingmaker in Chandrapur: Congress-BJP Resort Politics for Mayor's Crown

• Chandrapur Municipal Corporation elections resulted in no clear majority, leading to intense political maneuvering for the mayor's post.
• Congress emerged as the single largest party with 30 seats but needs 4 more for the 34-seat majority.
• BJP, with 23 seats, also claims the mayor's position, while Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) with 6 seats holds the 'kingmaker' role.
• Congress leaders Vijay Wadettiwar and Pratibha Dhanorkar have moved councilors to resorts to prevent defections and demonstrate strength.
• Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut asserted that no one can become mayor without their support, indicating their pivotal role.

Why It Matters: Uddhav Sena holds the key to Chandrapur's mayoral race as Congress and BJP engage in resort politics.
