New Delhi: The political dynamics in Maharashtra posed an unexpected surprise for the Supreme Court on Thursday, as it wondered how the Congress despite being in the ruling coalition in Maharashtra could enjoy the post of leader of the opposition (LoP) in the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM).
A bench headed by Chief Justice S. A. Bobde queried, could the Congress hold the position of LoP and also be a part of the ruling coalition in Maharashtra? Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, representing BJP Councillor Prabhakar Tukaram Shinde, contended that this is completely fatal to democracy. How can you have this? Mukul submitted before the bench also comprising Justices A. S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian.
