BMC Elections

After a long period of unfruitful talks and drama, the suspense will unfold in the next 24 hours over the fate of the alliance between the Shiv Sena and the BJP for Mumbai civic body polls.
 
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said he will make the penultimate statement on the alliance on January 26, at the party’s gathering of all local office-bearers and Sena footsoldiers in the city. This will be the Sena’s first show of strength ahead of the elections.
 
Both the parties have readied their list of 227 candidates, in case the alliance falls through, and the sentiment across both the Sena and the BJP is the parties will contest solo. Neither of them has officially pulled the curtains down.
 
 

Without an alliance, the Shiv Sena and BJP are likely to be each others’ biggest competitors this election, with both the Congress and NCP dealing with an internal leadership crisis, and the influence of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on the wane.
