Meanwhile, rattled by the report published in Nagpur Today titled “BJP may replace Mayor, Varsha Thakre, Manisha Kothe in the race,” the City BJP President Sudhakar Kohale refuted the report and asserted that there is no move to make changes at all. “Whenever, the change will take place, the decision will be conveyed to all including media. We have already in possession of resignations of 108 Corporators,” Kohale said but avoided to reply whether the Mayot Jichkar will complete her tenure of two and a half year. “The party has two bosses and their decision will be final,” he said.
He further said, as the city is taking a giant stride in development, such situations arise. The differences in party, if there is, will be resolved soon. Report cards of all MLAs in city is very good. “The report card of each MLA and Corporator is self assessment,” he said.
