Devendra Fadnavis to have a final say on the deciding candidates for BMC Polls
- by Webdesk
- 31 Dec 2016
The final decision on the list of candidates of BJP for the upcoming BMC Polls, will be taken by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. “Fadnavis himself will be carefully screening the candidates for ensuing BMC elections (due next year),” BJP’s city unit president Ashish Shelar told reporters today.
With regards to any decision on the alliance, Shelar evaded such queries. However, sources have mentioned that BJP would not want anything short of 110 seats out of 227.
However, Sena leader and Industries Minister Subhash Desai said his party would contest all 227 seats though the BJP has been stating that it was keen for an alliance with Sena for BMC elections.
Desai said Sena has learnt its lessons from the experience it had with the BJP in run-up to 2014 Assembly elections when BJP kept negotiating on seat sharing till last minute before calling off the alliance ahead of polls.
“Hence, Sena is ready with its plans to contest all 227 seats irrespective of materialisation of pre-poll alliance with the BJP,” Desai said.
