Shiv Sena on Thursday needled Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who is in a quandary over a no-confidence motion passed against NMMC Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, as it exhorted him to take the democratic route and remove the officer rather than being "unnecessarily stubborn" on the issue.

105 Corporators in the NCP-ruled Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC), barring six from BJP, have unanimously passed a no-confidence motion against Mundhe for his alleged "autocratic" style of functioning. The motion was supported by Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress and Independents.
