MUMBAI: With Mumbai's civic elections expected soon, Thursday's editorial in Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' left little room for interpretation. Penned by Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, the editorial read, "In Delhi, AAP and Congress fighting elections separately." Raut was referring to the AAP and Congress going it alone even though they were allies in the INDIA bloc. "What happened in Delhi may happen in Mumbai too," he added.
The Sena (UBT) has suggested through its editorial it would prefer to go solo in the elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the country's richest civic body. This comes after mounting pressure from former corporators and local organisational leaders across Mumbai, for the party to break ranks with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), a coalition of the Congress, Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP).
