Summary:
Vadodara: A section of residents of the minority pockets in Godhra burnt effigies of seven municipal corporators from the area for supporting the BJP. The BJP needs support of independents to establish majority in the house and elect its president. The party could not do so when the elections for the president took place in 2015 as independents had joined hands. The corporators switched sides from a group of independents that was ruling the Godhra municipality and decided to support the BJP.Eighteen BJP corporators and the 11 independents including seven from the minority community have gone to an undisclosed location ahead of the polls for the municipality presidents on Tuesday..
