The Congress party has suspended its 12 councillors in the Ambernath Municipal Council for joining forces with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) without approval from the party leadership. The move has sparked a heated controversy, with the Congress accusing the BJP of double standards. The BJP, which had secured 14 seats in the council, formed an alliance with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to secure a majority of 31 seats. However, the Congress party claims that the alliance was forged without its consent. The BJP has come under fire for its handling of the situation, with Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant accusing the party of hypocrisy. 'The BJP speaks of a "Congress-free India" but is now forming alliances with us in local bodies,' Sawant said. 'This exposes their hypocrisy and double standards.' The Congress party has also pointed out that the BJP's alliance with the AIMIM in the Akot Municipal Council in Akola district is a clear example of their willingness to compromise on principles and ideology for the sake of power. The BJP has responded by issuing a show-cause notice to their Akot MLA Prakash Bharsakhale over the alliance with AIMIM. However, the Congress party remains unconvinced, with Sawant saying that the BJP's actions are driven by a desire to polarize voters and gain power. The controversy has sparked a heated debate in Maharashtra, with many questioning the BJP's motives and the Congress party's decision to suspend its councillors. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the politics of Maharashtra is getting increasingly complex and contentious.
