Shiv Sena-UBT, MNS to Contest BEST Credit Society Election Together
Two political groups in Mumbai, Shiv Sena-UBT and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), are teaming up to compete in an upcoming election for a credit society.
This credit society is connected to the BEST, a public transport and electricity provider.
This collaboration, known as the Utkarsh panel, could lead to the two parties working together in future elections.
The credit society election is seen as a way for the groups to unite.
Leaders believe the alliance is a step to protect BEST.
The combined group consists of members from the two parties and other supporting groups.
The election is scheduled for August 18th.
Shiv Sena-UBT and MNS will jointly contest the upcoming BEST credit society election.
The alliance is named the Utkarsh panel and includes members from both parties.
