The Samajwadi Party has decided to contest about 113 – 115 seats for the upcoming BMC Elections 2017 and that too all alone. Party’s state unit chief, Abu Asim Azmi said, “Before the last assembly poll, we forged a brief alliance with the Congress, but it broke, we felt cheated,” said Azmi. We will fight the upcoming civic poll from 113 to 115 seats and won’t ally with anyone.”
 
Presently, the party has nine corporators in the BMC.
 
Stating that the MIM is no threat to its vote bank, Azmi said that his traditional supporters would not elect a “communal” party like MIM
 
Sources have pointed out that party’s key person, Rais Shaikh is planning to contest from 2 seats, that of his traditional Govandi and one more in South Mumbai.
