The one-year-old hold of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) over the post of leader of opposition in Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is likely to come to an end soon followed by the disqualification of party corporator Priya Gadade for submitting bogus birth certificate while filing election nomination in February 2012. At this moment both MNS and Congress have 28 elected members each in the civic body house.

Shown the door: Priya Gadade

The Court of Small Causes has given Gadade time till April 6 to file her ‘say’ on the issue. She is approaching Bombay High Court to challenge the decision.
