Congress, Shiv Sena Clash Over BMC Elections Strategy
The Congress party has spoken out against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for their divisive politics.
They have decided to contest the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections independently and will form alliances with other parties that share their focus on development and inclusiveness.
However, the Shiv Sena has warned Congress against going solo, fearing a split in votes and urging opposition unity to stop the BJP's plans.
