The first standing committee meeting since the lockdown in March got adjourned on Wednesday as political parties objected to the nomination of BJP member Bhalchandra Shirsat and said that he did not have a right to vote. Even though 674 proposals are pending before the standing committee, Shirsat's nomination took the centre stage, regarding which the BJP plans to seek redressal in court.

Shiv Sena corporator and house leader Vishakha Raut raised objections on Shirsat's nomination in the meeting and said that it was not in accordance with the Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. Group leaders of the Congress, NCP and Samajwadi Party supported his objection.
