Shiv Sena is holding true on at least one pre-BMC poll promise: to have its mayor in the civic body, and making history while it's at it, by also having the deputy mayor from its ranks. On Wednesday, three-time Sena corporator Vishwanath Mahadeshwar was elected as the city's 76th mayor and Hemangi Worlikar, another Sena corporator was picked as the deputy mayor.
