Desai said the new municipal corporations have been proposed for improved management of towns since the state’s total population living in urban areas is likely to reach 75 per cent by 2047.
The two leaders, Parshu Birari and Yogesh Desai, were elected from Vaghan and Charanwada seats, respectively, in the 2021 taluka panchayat elections. The two, who are small farmers, had contested the election for the first time on a Congress ticket.
