The party will soon be installing its corporator as the mayor of Jalgaon Municipal Corporation. The appointment of MNS corporator Lalit Kolhe, who has been serving as the city’s deputy mayor, is part of a political deal that the party has struck with Khandesh Vikas Aghadi (KVA). The prelude to his appointment was the resignation of sitting Jalgaon corporator Nitin Ladda on Wednesday. Irrespective of his political affiliations, Jain had continued with the KVA, which has been governing the Jalgaon Municipal Corporation for over two decades. In 2013, the KVA, which was fighting an electoral battle with the BJP for the Jalgaon Municipal Corporation elections, managed to win 33 seats in the 75-member Jalgaon Municipal Corporation.
