Godhra Municipality president and independent Corporator Sanjay Soni deserted the alliance and joined the BJP Vadodara: BJP turned the tables on the alliance of AIMIM, Congress and independent corporators in the Godhra municipality on Thursday. Municipality president and independent Corporator Sanjay Soni deserted the alliance and joined the BJP. The civic polls in Godhra have been dominated by independents and the BJP has had to rely on them to form a majority despite winning a large number of seats. The Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) that had entered the poll fray for the first time, along with independents, did not allow the saffron party to come to power this time around.
