Who is Vishakha Raut? Ex-Mumbai mayor stripped of BMC seat, barred from polls for 6 years over invalid OBC certificate
Vishakha Raut, former Mumbai mayor, was stripped of her BMC seat and barred from elections for six years due to an invalid OBC certificate. The state government formalized her disqualification, effective August 20, following a decision by the caste scrutiny committee. Raut's plea to the Bombay High Court was rejected, raising questions about the swift disqualification process.
