After BJP, Sena prepares a list of 227 candidates for BMC Elections

After the Bharatiya Janata Party prepared its list of 227 candidates, its ally, the ruling Shiv Sena did not want to be left far behind and they too have prepared their list of 227 candidates. However, neither the BJP and nor the Sena has disclosed its list.

 

The election code of conduct for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls could be announced anytime soon. Although, party leaderships from both the sides have hinted in favour of an alliance, no groundwork has been started for that. Sources from both the parities said that they been told to start preparations to go solo. “We have been having regular meetings with the party leaders. We are prepared for the polls even if the alliance with BJP does not take place. In fact, our workers are of the opinion that we should go solo for the BMC to strengthen our party,” said a senior leader from the Sena.

 

Confirming the development, Shiv Sena member of Parliament Anil Desai said, “There is no rule for not starting to prepare for the polls in the absence of alliance talks. We have started preparing like all other parties. If the alliance takes place it will be good if not then we will prepare to go alone.”
