KALYAN: Sending

into a tizzy over the Citizenship Amendment Act, the BJP corporators from Ulhasnagar on Wednesday put a resolution in general body meeting of Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) to appreciate chief minister

for his stand on

.

However,

corporators opposed BJP's resolution saying BJP is doing publicity stunt over the issue. BJP corporators then withdrew the resolution but accused the Shiv Sena of compromising the Hindutva agenda and working under Congress-NCP's pressure.

The incident came to light on Wednesday during the general body meeting when BJP corporator Pradeep Ramchandani put a private resolution asking others to appreciate Uddhav Thackeray for his stand on CAA. While putting the resolution, Ramchandani said, "We are happy that our beloved CM supported CAA by saying the law will not affect any Indian’s citizenship as it is a law to give citizenship and not to take citizenship of anybody.”

Ramchandani further said, "The CM Thackeray has taken a stand on the issue and this is the reason we wanted to pass a resolution appreciating him.” Interestingly, Ramchandani's resolution was opposed by Shiv Sena corporator Rajendra Chaudhari and

who accused the BJP of doing stunt over issue and said that instead of bringing proposal on CAA, BJP should bring a resolution to appreciate the CM for the work he has done across

since taking charge. The resolution was also opposed by Shiv Sena's allies Congress and Republican Party of India.

Talking to TOI, Manoj Lassi, BJP corporator, said, "The Shiv Sena corporators’ move against their own CM and party president shows that the party is working under much pressure from their alliance partners Congress and NCP.”
