Summary:
The recommendations for coopted posts to the House are ideally expected for experts from various fields who can help the general body give a perspective on certain issues. However, after the mayor announced Shinde’s name, the NCP has demanded an explanation. However, the same is often taken as an opportunity to induct loyalists into the House.
