With the BMC elections just a month away, political parties have gone on a war zone. Recently, Arun Gawli's son Shyam Jaiswal of Akhil Bharatiya Sena filed a complaint against deputy mayor Alka Kerkar with the State Election Commission and Khar police station, for violating the code of conduct.
According to Jaiswal, the deputy mayor’s posters have been displayed at Rajesh Khanna Garden, the North Avenue Road in Santacruz, and the 16th Road in Santacruz West, where Kerkar resides, despite the election code of conduct coming into effect. "These are petty stunts to win the elections. How difficult is it to remove the posters?" asked Jaiswal.
