BHIWANDI: Sixteen out of 47 Congress corporators in Bhiwandi-Nizampur City Municipal Corporation (BNMC) joined NCP on Wednesday.
The parties are allies in the state government, but not in this civic body, where NCP earlier did not have any corporator. The 16 were part of a group of 18 Congress rebels who backed a BJP-supported candidate in the mayoral polls last year. Two were out of town and are likely to join NCP on their return.
Congress had decided to disqualify the 18 rebels. The party had written to the Konkan commissioner, with whom the disqualification issue is pending. Political sources said the rebels decided to switch to NCP to avoid disqualification. They contacted NCP minister Jitendra Avhad, who arranged their entry.
