Political activity is increasing amid Maharashtra Municipal Corporation elections. Meanwhile, a strange case is coming to light from Pune Municipal Corporation. A case of Eknath Shinde’s candidate in the Pune Municipal Corporation elections tearing the AB form and swallowing it has come to light. A case has been registered against Shiv Sena’s rival candidate on this allegation.

The incident took place in Dhankawadi Sahakarnagar ward office. Later, a case was registered against Shiv Sena candidate Uddhav Kamble (34) at Bharati Vidyapeeth police station.

Shiv Sena leader swallowed the form after heated debate

Actually, AB forms were issued to two candidates of Shiv Sena for the Municipal Corporation elections to be held on January 15 in Ward No. 34 of Pune city. There was a heated debate on this issue between Shiv Sena candidates Kamble and Machindra Dhawale.

Police said that during the argument, Kamble allegedly snatched Dhawale’s AB forms, tore them and swallowed them. A case has been registered for obstructing a government employee in his official duties during the election process. We are investigating the matter.

Maharashtra Municipal Corporation elections on 15 January

It is known that elections will be held in 29 municipal corporations of Maharashtra including Pune Municipal Corporation on January 15. To file their nomination in this election, candidates fill the AB form. Form A and B are the necessary documents under which a political party declares a person as its candidate in the election.

It is said that on January 15, votes will be cast for the elections of a total of 29 Municipal Corporations of Maharashtra, but more than the elections of these 29 Municipal Corporations, there is more discussion about the elections of only one Municipal Corporation. And that is BMC i.e. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. And like every time, this time too this BMC election is in the headlines like the Lok Sabha or state assembly elections.

Be it the unification of the Thackeray brothers after almost 20 years or the first elections being held amid the changed equations in Maharashtra politics, everyone’s eyes are on it. And everyone means everyone, from the leaders sitting at the top to the workers, from the big businessmen of the country to every special and common man, because the reason is not just the election but the stake in this election, in which there is money, power and also an attempt to establish the balance of political power in Maharashtra, in which every political party of Maharashtra is playing its own stake. Every party in Maharashtra has made BMC elections a matter of concern.

To understand the importance of BMC elections, first of all you have to understand BMC itself. The people of Maharashtra must be well aware of the money spent on BMC elections and the power they get from it, but those who are not from Maharashtra will have to understand BMC.

What is the budget of BMC?

Understand this that the budget for BMC elections is more than the total annual budget of many states of the country like Mizoram, Sikkim, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh. The annual budget for 2025-26 presented by BMC in February 2025 was Rs 74,427 crore. How much this money is, can be estimated from the fact that in this budget, a state like Himachal Pradesh can run its work for one and a half years, because its annual budget is only about Rs 58 thousand crores.

A state like Goa can run its expenses for two and a half years with this money, because Goa’s budget is also around Rs 28 thousand crores. That means, who wouldn’t try to get the budget of more than Rs 74 thousand crores? Rest, this is also the Municipal Corporation, which also saves about Rs 3 thousand crore to Rs 4 thousand crore every year and by saving, BMC has got a surplus of about Rs 84 thousand crore in its account. This is the reason why BMC becomes an arena for every political party of Maharashtra during elections.

Who wins BMC rules Mumbai?

Now secondly, victory in BMC does not only mean getting the power of expenditure of Rs 74 thousand crores or the surplus of Rs 84 thousand crores, but also a power with which the winner rules Mumbai. And what gives it this power is the Municipal Corporation Act 1888. This Act says that whatever work related to development will be done in the country’s financial capital Mumbai, only BMC will give permission for it.

That is, if you want to build a new building in Mumbai, get its map passed or get a street-road-drain-pavement constructed, permission will have to be taken from BMC for everything. Now since Mumbai is the most expensive sector of India in terms of real estate, then who would not want to take control of it? And whoever owns BMC will also have control over it.

BMC also a political force!

Rest, BMC also has a political strength, which cannot be ignored. BMC means Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. So this includes both Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban. If we look at the expansion of BMC from the assembly point of view, there are a total of 36 assemblies in it. If we look at it from the Lok Sabha point of view, a total of 6 Lok Sabha seats come under the purview of BMC alone. Now BJP led Mahayuti is leading in the Assembly and has 22 out of 36 seats. While Mahavikas Aghadi had got lead in the Lok Sabha, it has a total of 4 seats in the Lok Sabha.

That means BMC has money, power and political influence, so victory in BMC means achieving these three important things. Therefore, whether it is about the parties of Maharashtra like both Shiv Sena, both NCP and MNS or about the two national parties i.e. BJP and Congress, everyone wants maximum seats in BMC in any case. Now, how many seats are there in BMC, how many seats does it mean to win BMC, what post does one get after winning BMC and what has been the history of BMC till now, let us try to understand that also, from which the future of BMC can also be seen.

How many seats in BMC?

So the total seats in BMC are 227. Whichever party wins 114 seats, becomes its own mayor, who takes all the decisions. But these decisions are not made by the mayor alone. Rather, the decision is taken by the Municipal Commissioner who is an IAS rank officer. Let us understand this BMC in a little more detail.

From the point of view of administration, BMC is divided into a total of seven zones. There are three to five wards in each zone. There are total 24 wards in Mumbai. These are divided into English alphabets from A to T. Of these, F, G, H, K, M and P have two wards each. Somewhere North-South and somewhere East-West. There are three wards in R. And why there is no ward. There are civic electoral wards in every ward. In simple language you can call them something like assembly. Their total number is 227.

Just as the person who wins the Legislative Assembly is called an MLA, similarly the person who wins the Civic Electoral Wards is called a Corporator. Just as the MLAs choose one of their own as the leader of the legislative party and he becomes the Chief Minister, similarly the corporators choose one of their own as the Mayor, who is the head of the BMC and is considered the first citizen of Mumbai.

The whole fight is for BMC Mayor?

And the whole fight is about this first citizen i.e. the Mayor. Because even though Bala Saheb’s Shiv Sena came to power in Maharashtra about 29 years after its formation i.e. on 19 June 1966, Shiv Sena had captured BMC within five years of its formation. Shiv Sena leader Hemchandra Gupte was the first Shiv Sainik who became the Mayor of Mumbai in 1971. And after that, except for a few years, the mayor of Mumbai has been more or less a Shiv Sainik.

Shiv Sena’s influence in BMC can also be understood from the fact that even when there was emergency in the entire country and Indira Gandhi was the supreme power of the country, Manohar Joshi, who was a Shiv Sainik in the 1976 BMC elections, became the mayor of BMC. From 1996 to 2022, Shiv Sena has been in control of this BMC, whether it is with BJP or against BJP. But BMC belongs to Shiv Sainiks only.

What will Shiv Sena (UBT) and Shiv Sena (Shinde) do now in BMC?

But of those Shiv Sainiks who were Bala Saheb’s Shiv Sainiks. Now Bala Saheb’s Shiv Sainiks have broken into two parts. That means Shiv Sena itself has broken into two parts. Some of Bala Saheb’s Shiv Sainiks are with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena while some Shiv Sainiks are with Bala Saheb’s son Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena. In such a situation, the whole fight is about which Shiv Sainiks will win in the elections that are going to be held. And BJP is most interested in this, which despite first being a partner in power in Maharashtra with Shiv Sena and then forming its own power, has not been able to get any mayor of its own in BMC. There was a time when it seemed that BJP would capture BMC. In 2017, there was a difference of only three seats in the victory of BJP and Shiv Sena. BJP had won 81 seats and Shiv Sena 84. The Chief Minister was also BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis, so it seemed that BJP would make the mayor. But even then Shiv Sena made its mayor.

But now Shiv Sena has broken in the changed circumstances. A faction of Shiv Sena i.e. Shinde faction is with BJP. Whereas isolated Uddhav Thackeray has got the support of his brother Raj Thackeray, because both need each other. Raj Thackeray, who left Shiv Sena due to political ambitions and family turmoil and formed MNS, has yet to decide that if Shiv Sena wins in BMC, then it should not be of Shinde’s Shiv Sena but of Uddhav’s Shiv Sena, even if Raj has to make some sacrifices for it, because the issue is to save the family’s legacy. At the same time, BJP has a chance to snatch BMC from weakened Uddhav, for which it will not only try hard, but if it has to make some sacrifices, then like in 2017, it will also make sacrifices, but for Shinde… not for anyone else.

What is Raj Thackeray’s role in BMC elections?

Because at present not only Uddhav is weak but Raj Thackeray is also weak. After the breakup of Shiv Sena, two big elections came before Uddhav. Lok Sabha and Assembly. When Uddhav contested the Lok Sabha elections under the banner of Mahavikas Aghadi formed by combining Congress, Sharad Pawar’s NCP and his Shiv Sena, he contested on 21 seats, out of which he won 9 seats. There are also 6 seats whose area of ​​expansion is the same as that of BMC. According to this, Uddhav looks strong in this BMC election, but as soon as you look at the assembly elections, Uddhav’s weakness comes to the fore.

Uddhav had also contested the assembly elections under the banner of Mahavikas Aghadi. Uddhav got 95 seats to contest in the 288-seat assembly, out of which he won only 20 seats. Of these, 10 seats are those which come under the purview of BMC. Now as far as Raj Thackeray is concerned, Raj Thackeray did not even contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections because he had to support BJP.

There are so many deceptions in the path of politics that…

But when Raj Thackeray’s account was not opened even in the Assembly, he understood that if he remained united then he would be safe, because his son Amit Thackeray, who made his electoral debut in this election, also lost the election. And not only lost, but also reached third place. Even before this, when Raj Thackeray had tried his hand in BMC after separating from Shiv Sena, he had reached 27 seats only once in 2012, whereas in the last BMC elections of 2017, he could not even cross the double digit and was reduced to 7 seats.

In such a situation, understanding the urgency of the situation, both the brothers have joined hands so that somehow after losing everything, they can at least get hold of BMC. Therefore, they are moving slowly, cautiously, but there are so many deceptions in the path of politics that it cannot be said when and where and how. Because there are other players in this game, who may or may not play to win, they will definitely play to spoil the game. Whose game will be made and whose game will be ruined will be decided on 16 January 2026. Because the results will come the next day after voting on January 15.

Before the municipal elections including BMC in Maharashtra, the alliance between Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray has created a new stir in the politics of the state. Now the reaction of Deputy CM Eknath Shinde has also come out regarding this alliance. He has said that this alliance has been made not for the people of Mumbai but for the chair.

Ahead of the elections, Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde said, “Mahayuti is strong and we have a clear agenda of development, but today some people have come together just for the agenda of the chair. They have nothing to do with Mumbaikars.”

Congress- Uddhav group workers join Shiv Sena

In fact, on Wednesday (December 24), hundreds of Shiv Sena UBT and Congress officials and workers from Nashik and Kolhapur districts joined Shiv Sena in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Shinde. On this occasion, Eknath Shinde, while targeting the Uddhav Thackeray group, said that some alliances are in the interest of the public and the state, while some are done for selfishness, power and survival. No matter who has alliance with anyone, Mahayuti is strong in Maharashtra.

‘The public showed them their place’

He further said, “Mahayuti has won both the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. In the city councils, Shiv Sena alone has elected the maximum number of city presidents as compared to the three parties of Mahavikas Aghadi. The people of Maharashtra have shown their place in three and a half years to those who left Balasaheb’s ideas.”

‘Mumbai is considered a hen that lays golden eggs’

Deputy Chief Minister Shinde also said, “Till now, Mumbai was considered a hen that lays golden eggs. Earlier they kept eating the eggs and now they have come together to slaughter the hen. In today’s press conference, they did not say even a word on the development of Mumbai. Mahayuti has an agenda of development, whereas they have an agenda of power and chair. They have gathered to get power and save the chair.”

Preparations of all political parties for BMC elections 2026 are going on in full swing. Meanwhile, seat sharing is also being discussed in Mahayuti. Last night (Monday, December 22) an almost two-hour long meeting of Mahayuti took place at Varsha Bungalow. According to sources, before this, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis held a separate meeting with his senior leaders and reviewed the upcoming municipal elections, in which an in-depth discussion was held especially regarding the Mumbai Municipal Corporation.

Quoting sources, it has been revealed that consensus has already been reached on 150 seats of Mumbai Municipal Corporation, while the remaining 77 seats were discussed on the night of Monday, December 22. During this time, consensus has been reached on about 30 to 35 seats, while it has been agreed to hold another meeting soon and take a final decision regarding the remaining seats.

Seat sharing will be finalized in a day or two

It was also decided in the meeting that the final seal on seat distribution would be given by the afternoon of Tuesday or Wednesday (23 or 24 December).

What happened in MVA so far?

The equations of the opposition grand alliance party of Maharashtra now seem to be changing. Amidst the departure of Congress and the possibility of entry of Raj Thackeray, seat sharing is also being discussed in a new way. Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena UBT currently has 145 seats out of 227 seats in Mumbai. At the same time, Raj Thackeray’s MNS can still get 65 to 70 seats. Apart from this, Sharad Pawar’s NCP SP may get 10 to 12 seats.

Apart from this, Raj Thackeray’s MNS has also decided to put a pause on the announcement of alliance until seat sharing is fully discussed. Once both the parties agree on seats, only then should the Thackeray brothers announce the alliance. In such a situation, it is believed that the alliance between Raj and Uddhav Thackeray has been postponed.

Mahayuti achieved a spectacular victory in the Maharashtra municipal elections. The opposition parties had to face a crushing defeat in this election. BJP emerged as the largest party in the Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat elections. Now BJP leader Ram Kadam has made a big claim explaining the reason for the opposition’s defeat.

BJP MLA Ram Kadam said that the opposition was repeatedly making excuses instead of paying attention to the election campaign. He said, “The opposition talked about postponing the elections, alleged vote theft, raised issues related to EVMs and voter lists and made many other excuses. These issues were raised only when they lost. The opposition hardly came out on the streets during the campaign. There were no rallies or contact with people at the grassroots level.”

‘Mahayuti had entered the elections with confidence’

He said that the Mahayuti alliance had entered the electoral battle with confidence and the mindset of victory. The result of this came out as a resounding victory. Ram Kadam also said that the success of BJP and its allies was attributed to the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the development work done in the entire state in the last few years. He said that the performance of the government in power laid a strong foundation for success, first in the assembly elections and now in the local body elections.

‘Success came from the work done in Maharashtra’

MLA Ram Kadam further said, “The work done in Maharashtra in the last few years under the leadership of Chief Minister Fadnavis led to tremendous success in the assembly elections. Due to these efforts and achievements, we gave excellent results in the assembly and from the very first day we carried the spirit of victory on our heads.”

‘People are getting benefits from government schemes’

Emphasizing on the government’s development agenda, the BJP MLA said that infrastructure projects and welfare schemes have benefited all sections of people, especially farmers. Roads are being built and farmers are getting benefits on a large scale. On the other hand, the opposition had entered the elections with the intention of losing from the very first day.

‘CM-Deputy CM were on the streets for campaigning’

MLA Ram Kadam said that the BJP leadership and alliance partners actively contacted voters. He said, “Our Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister were constantly on the ground, campaigning and holding big rallies. With courage, determination and hard work of our workers, we entered the election field with confidence. That is why we won and the opposition had to face defeat.”

Elections have been announced for BMC, the country’s largest municipal corporation. Voting will be done on January 15 and counting of votes will take place on January 16. The big question is who will take over this municipal corporation dominated by Thackeray’s Shiv Sena this time? This time, along with the political scenario, the map has also changed in BMC.

There are 236 seats here, in 2017 there were 227 seats. BMC elections were to be held in the year 2022, but they were delayed due to issues related to ward delimitation and reservation. In September 2025, the Supreme Court had said that local body elections should be completed by January 31, 2026.

In the 2017 elections, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena emerged as the largest party and captured the post of Mayor in alliance with BJP. Shiv Sena had got maximum 84 seats. BJP had got 82 seats. Shiv Sena was united then under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray. Whereas Congress won 31 seats, NCP 9, MNS 7 and AIMIM won two seats.

This time, till the announcement of elections, there has been no announcement on the alliance formula in both the party and opposition camps. An alliance is expected with a friendly fight in the elections. BJP, Shiv Sena Shinde faction and Ajit Pawar’s NCP are definitely talking about fighting together, but there is every possibility of a friendly fight.

Angry Eknath Shinde!

In fact, during the Panchayat elections, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde appeared quite angry with the BJP’s stance. The party said that BJP has defeated their leaders.

Such was his displeasure that he did not even attend the cabinet meeting. However, after the elections, BJP did damage control. There was a long meeting between Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Shinde and after this BJP announced that we will fight the local elections together. At the same time, BJP is angry with Ajit Pawar’s NCP. NCP has given command of BMC elections to Nawab Malik, BJP is opposing it. In such a situation, the time to come will tell what will be the equation of Mahayuti in the elections.

NCP will take decision today

NCP has called a meeting on Tuesday (16 December) at 4 pm. Sources said that whether to contest the elections as a grand alliance or to consider any other option, this will be discussed in today’s meeting.

Small workers have a lot of expectations from local elections, in such a situation all the parties want to bring maximum seats to their side. The grand alliance of all three parties is currently in the Maharashtra government. At the same time, small parties like RPI are also hoping to get seats in Mahayuti.

BJP is going to start the first round of talks with constituent parties for BMC elections from today. BJP will hold talks with Shiv Sena and RPI Athawale today.

condition of opposition alliance

There is confusion about the stand of Congress due to Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) and Raj Thackeray joining MNS in the opposition. Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray have come together after 20 years. Both the brothers are faced with the challenge of survival. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has reached MNS President Raj Thackeray’s house today to discuss seat sharing.

The unity of the Thackeray brothers put the Congress in a dilemma. Different voices are being raised within the party. Some believe that one should fight separately from Thackeray. At the same time, some party leaders also believe that fighting with Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS will be beneficial.

Regarding the conversation, Sanjay Raut said, “There may be a formal announcement from the Thackeray brothers this week.” As of now I don’t think Congress is with us. I had spoken to the Congress High Command, who had left the decision to the local unit. Let us tell you that Congress has called a meeting today regarding BMC elections.

The stand of Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP) is awaited. The closeness between uncle and nephew has increased in recent times amidst confusion regarding Ajit Pawar in Mahayuti and Sharad Pawar in MVA. Recently, Prafulla Patel of Ajit Pawar group attended Sharad Pawar’s birthday party. The photo of the meeting sparked a new discussion in political circles.

In the last assembly and Lok Sabha elections, Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP (SP) had contested together. This Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance defeated Mahayuti in the Lok Sabha elections, however, it suffered a crushing defeat in the Assembly elections.

The last election was held on 21 February 2017 and the result was announced on 23 February. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is considered to be the largest municipal corporation in Asia. In the last budget, an expenditure of about Rs 75,000 crore was estimated for the current financial year. In such a situation, the eyes of all parties are fixed on BMC.

The dates of municipal elections in Maharashtra have been announced. State Election Commissioner Dinesh Waghmare said that the code of conduct is being implemented in 29 municipal corporations from today (December 15). There is a plan to hold local body elections before January 31. Elections for all 29 municipalities including BMC will be held on January 15. The results will come on January 16. There will be 10 thousand 111 polling stations. Will use the list of July 1, 2025.

Candidates can file nomination for BMC elections from 23rd December to 30th December. Withdrawal of candidature can be taken till 2 January 2026. Election symbols can be distributed till January 3, 2026.

Activities of political parties intensify regarding BMC elections

The tenure of 27 municipal corporations in Maharashtra has ended. These elections are pending since 2022. These elections were to be held in the year 2022 itself but there was a lot of delay in it due to the issues of ward delimitation and reservation. The Supreme Court had issued instructions to complete the local body elections by January 31, 2026. After the announcement of elections, the political activities of all the political parties have intensified. Everyone has become more active in making their own strategies.

The country’s richest municipal corporation

BMC elections have been considered very important in the politics of the state. This affects the equations of state as well as national politics. BMC is the richest municipal corporation in the country. Its annual budget is quite big. In such a situation, all the political parties of the state have come together to exert their full strength to gain control over it. 227 corporators are elected in BMC.

Who will get how many seats in the 2017 elections?

In the 2017 BMC elections in Maharashtra, BJP had won 82 seats. Whereas 84 councilors of undivided Shiv Sena had won. Whereas Congress won 31 seats and NCP won 9 seats. The post of Mayor had gone to the undivided Shiv Sena.

However, now the entire political equation of the state has changed. Along with Shiv Sena, NCP is also divided into two groups. There are two alliances in the state, Mahayuti and Mahavikas Aghadi. Currently, there is a Mahayuti government in the state under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis. In such a situation, now everyone’s eyes are especially on BMC elections.

Big cracks are clearly visible in the ruling alliance Mahayuti in Maharashtra, which has now become difficult for BJP and Shiv Sena to hide. The discord between Devendra Fadnavis’ group and Eknath Shinde’s group is intensifying. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde’s MP son Shrikant Shinde has given a big statement.

In fact, recently senior BJP leader Ravindra Chavan had said that he has got the responsibility to save the Mahayuti only till December 2. On this, Shrikant Shinde said, “Ravindra Chavan should tell whether BJP wants to keep the alliance even after December 2 or not.”

While answering media questions during the election campaign, Shrikant Shinde accepted the ongoing rift between BJP and Shiv Sena. When he was asked that the alliance has to be preserved only till December 2, Ravindra Chavan said this. What does it mean? In response, Shrikant Shinde said, “I don’t know what he said. Ask him only whether he wants to keep the alliance in future or not?”

Why did the issue of December 2 arise?

Actually, Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat elections in Maharashtra are on December 2. In such a situation, speculations are being made that Mahayuti will be able to recover only till December 2. After this, the alliance partners seem to be moving apart.

Demand to make Eknath Shinde the Chief Minister again

Meanwhile, the issue of bringing Eknath Shinde as the chief ministerial face is again being raised in Maharashtra. Dada Bhuse, minister from Shinde faction of Maharashtra, gave a big statement during the civic election campaign. Dada Bhuse hinted at Eknath Shinde becoming the Chief Minister of Maharashtra again in the future.

He said, “Even today, if there is any Chief Minister’s face in the minds of people, it is that of Eknath Shinde. No such CM has been made in the history of the state. No one knows what will happen in the future.”

NDA may have secured a huge majority in Bihar, but in Rajasthan, Shinde faction of Shiv Sena has given it a clear ultimatum. Shiv Sena Shinde faction says that it will field its candidates on all the seats in the municipal and panchayat elections to be held soon in Rajasthan. If BJP contests the elections together and gives it some seats then it will be fine, otherwise the party will field its candidates on all the seats and will contest the elections alone. The party has also expressed a strong reaction regarding the conversion case in Kota.

Shiv Sena increased activism in Rajasthan

After three MLAs joined the party in Rajasthan last year, the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena has increased the party’s activism in the state. The party has now decided to field candidates on all the seats in the municipal and panchayat elections to be held soon in Rajasthan. State party president Prahlad Singh and youth unit president Sachin Singh Gaur clearly say that being a political party, it will be our compulsion to field candidates in local level elections. If we do not contest elections, our party workers will sit at home.

‘BJP should give us fair share’

State President Prahlad Singh and Youth Wing State President Sachin Singh Gaur say that the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena is a part of the NDA. We would like BJP to give us a fair share in the local body elections of Rajasthan. We want to contest elections in alliance with BJP, but if BJP does not give us sufficient number of seats then we will contest elections alone. Our alliance is in the Center and Maharashtra. It is for Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, but it is our compulsion to contest Panchayat and civic elections.

‘Our party will contest elections under any circumstances’

The party leader said that if BJP does not come together then Shinde faction of Shiv Sena will contest alone. Our party will contest elections under any circumstances. Leaders said that party president and Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde has also organized a meeting with prominent leaders of the state on December 15 regarding the local body elections of Rajasthan. Leaders said that today a large number of workers from other parties have joined Shiv Sena. Many people have also been given responsibility.

What did the party say on the issue of conversion?

Shiv Sena Shinde faction has reacted sharply to the incident of Christian missionary in Kota, Rajasthan terming the state government as ‘the rule of Satan’ and instigating people for religious conversion. State President Prahlad Singh and State President of Youth Wing Sachin Singh Gaur have clearly said that if concrete action is not taken soon by the government in this matter, then Shiv Sena workers will work with sticks and shoes in their hands to teach a lesson to the culprits. It will be told to them publicly that Rajasthan is not ruled by Satan but by Ramraj. They will also be made to chant the name of Ram. The law will take its course but Shiv Sena workers will do their work and will teach a befitting lesson to those trying to convert.
