Close contest likely in 32 BMC seats between BJP-Sena alliance, Shiv Sena (UBT)-MNS combine
Mumbai, Dec 31 (SocialNews.XYZ) Around 32 seats out of the 227 seats of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) are expected to witness a direct contest between the BJP-Shinde-led Shiv Sena alliance and the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT)-Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) combine, as no strong third-front candidates are likely to be in the fray in these constituencies. According to sources, the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) faced difficulties in finalising candidates for 21 of the 62 seats allotted to it by the Congress under the seat-sharing arrangement in Mumbai.
