Shiv Sena UBT will fight BMC elections alone!
After the massive victory of Mahayuti in maharashtra assembly elections 2024, there is a political tussle between the parties involved in the Mahavikas Aghadi. While the excitement has also increased regarding the BMC elections. This is the reason that after the crushing defeat in the assembly elections, shiv sena uddhav thackeray is now eyeing the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC Election) elections. Meanwhile, the discussion is that shiv sena UBT will contest the elections by separating from the ally congress in MVA.
In fact, BMC has always been considered a stronghold of Shiv Sena. If Mahayuti had lost the BMC elections, then uddhav thackeray would have lagged far behind in the real fight of Shiv Sena. In 1995, shiv sena came to power in maharashtra along with BJP. BMC elections were held in 1996, where shiv sena won. Since then, 12 mayors have been elected in mumbai Municipal Corporation. All the mayors are from Shiv Sena. In this regard, the biggest challenge for shiv sena UBT is to retain control over BMC. This is because if Shinde shiv sena succeeds in winning BMC, then it will be difficult for uddhav to save the organization.
What is the strategy of shiv sena UBT?
After the defeat of MVA in maharashtra assembly elections, leader of Opposition in Legislative Council and Uddhav's close aide Ambadas Danve has openly attacked congress for this. Danve claims that MVA lost the election due to Congress's overconfidence.

Meanwhile, another change has been seen in the attitude of shiv sena UBT towards Congress. uddhav Thackeray's party has given its support to cm Mamata Banerjee's claim for the post of leader in the All india Alliance. Political discussions are also at their peak in the political corridors of mumbai regarding this matter. people have started asking whether congress and shiv sena will contest the BMC elections separately?
