Amid growing anticipation over the appointment of the next Mayor of Navi Mumbai, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday formally registered its group leader and 66 corporators at Konkan Bhavan.
Sagar Naik Elected Leader
Former Mayor Sagar Naik was unanimously elected as the BJP Group Leader in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). The registration process was completed in the presence of senior party leaders, including former MP Dr. Sanjeev Naik, former MLA Sandeep Naik, Navi Mumbai BJP District President Dr. Rajesh Patil, and Abhijit Pednekar.
BJP Emerges Largest Party
Following the recently announced results of municipal corporation elections across the state, including Navi Mumbai, the BJP emerged as the single largest party in the NMMC with 65 corporators, securing a clear majority. The party’s strength rose to 66 after independent corporator Bharat Bhoir, elected from Ward 14-D, extended unconditional support to the BJP and joined the group.
Mayoral Decision Pending
Speaking to the media, Dr. Sanjeev Naik said that Sagar Naik was chosen as the group leader by consensus. He added that the final decision on the mayoral candidate would be taken by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, BJP State President Ravindra Chavan, and the party’s senior leadership. “BJP corporators are committed to delivering on the promises made to citizens and ensuring the overall development of Navi Mumbai over the next five years,” he said.
