Latur gives Congress a rare boost after controversy over Ravindra Chavan’s Vilasrao Deshmukh remark | Mumbai News

Latur has emerged as one of the very rare bright spots for the Congress, along with Chandrapur, where the party appears poised to take control of the municipal corporation Friday. The party’s performance in Latur, where it is leading in 47 of the corporation’s 70 seats under the leadership of MLA Amit Deshmukh, comes in the backdrop of a statement made by Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Ravindra Chavan.
