Our position on various issues must be concrete so that there is effective communication with the citizens. So, to be able to make decisions in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) this work has to be done immediately. As of now, there are no Congress members in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) house,” stated the report.  

 

 

The document further stated that if Congress decides of fighting the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections individually then it will have to immediately announce the candidates on 147 seats in the areas where there are no corporator of the Congress party.
