- 04 Jul 2016
In run up to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election due next year in February, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to retain Ashish Shelar as its Mumbai unit chief.
“Every party has the right to strengthen and widen its base. BJP too wants power in BMC. At such a time, the party will need an aggressive leader and Shelar fulfills that criteria. Thus, he would be given a second opportunity to bring the BJP to power in the civic body with a majority,” BJP spokesperson Atul Shah told reporters in Mumbai on July 4.
A formal meeting will be held in Central Mumbai on July 5 by the BJP to elect the president of the state’s capital city. Ashish Shelar is an MLA and represents Bandra West (Vidhan Sabha constituency).Shelar had recently openly targeted Sena president Uddhav Thackeray and that party’s mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ for mocking BJP president Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi
