MUMBAI: A day after state NCP president Jayant Patil, Shiv Sena leader Subhash Desai and state Congress chief Nana Patole reached a consensus on joining forces for the nagar panchayat (municipal council) polls, it appears that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) banner will gain control over maximum councils in Maharashtra.
"As state government, MVA's performance was impressive. In the nagar panchayats too, we will have to ensure that the BJP is kept out of power. We must ensure that only MVA nominees are elected as presidents," said the joint statement issued Patil, Desai and Patole on Sunday.
