Vadodara Councillor

Gujarat High Court issued a notice to Vadodara Municipal Corporation after a Congress councillor challenged a resolution passed by the civic body to not appoint a leader of the opposition as his party won less than 10 per cent of the seats.

A councillor of the ruling BJP in Gujarat was tied to a tree and thrashed by people whose slums were pulled down in Vadodara this morning. Hasmukh Patel is seen tied up, with his white shirt torn, facing torrents of abuse from a group ringed around him in a video that has been widely shared on social media.
