BJP’s internal survey indicates that BJP could win 130 seats in BMC Elections, if they go solo

As per a senior leader in the Mumbai BJP, the party had done surveys to assess the winnability in all 227 wards in Mumbai. As per the outcome of this survey, the BJP can win 130 seats out of a possible 227, if they go solo in the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Elections.
The findings of the survey have been conveyed to the BJP top brass, which will take a decision on an alliance with the Sena. Both the Sena and BJP have not yet started formal or informal talks on the alliance, but the parties have started preparing to go solo in the polls. They have also instructed workers to start work in all the wards.
Asked about the survey, Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar refused to comment. But Congress Mumbai president Sanjay Nirupam said that the BJP was known for conducting false surveys. “The BJP keeps doing fake surveys. The people should not trust them,” he said.
The NCP said that if the BJP was so confident, it should break its alliance with the Sena and declare the same immediately. NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said, “It has been the BJP’s strategy to confuse people to get votes. But if the party is so confident, they should break the alliance with the Sena. What are they waiting for? The party is just playing a gimmick to dump the Sena.”
The Sena meanwhile ridiculed the survey saying that the BJP could even get 420 seats elected in a 227-seat civic body. “There are 227 seats in the BMC but the BJP can get 420,” said Sena spokesperson Arvind Bhosale.
