- 02 Nov 2016
The Mumbai unit of the Congress party started distributing forms from October 27 for seeking official candidature in various wards. They received an overwhelming response to this activity. As many as 639 aspirants have already taken these application forms within the first three days itself.
On the first day i.e. October 27th, 223 workers took forms which reduce to 200 on the second day. The third day i.e. October 29th, witnessed a slight increase in the number of forms taken to 216. The Mumbai Regional Congress Committee (MRCC) office was closed for Diwali since October 30.
The Congress office will continue to give away application forms till November 12
“We expect several hundred people to visit MRCC when the office is operational again on November 2,” said MRCC president Sanjay Nirupam.
Nirupam termed the development as a result of a growing anti-BJP and Shiv Sena sentiment in the people. “Two years have passed since the BJP came to power in the state and Centre. The bubble has burst now. People say that BJP has not been able to meet the people’s demands and fulfil their election promises,” he said.
