Quick Read
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is seeking to tighten its grip over Mumbai’s western suburbs. In the BJP-Shiv Sena (Shinde) alliance, all municipal wards in Vile Parle and Bandra West have gone to the BJP, leaving the Shinde Sena without a single seat in these two segments.
In the Charkop Assembly segment, represented by BJP MLA Yogesh Sagar, six of seven wards have gone to the BJP quota. Upset with this, a section of local Shinde Sena office-bearers quit the party and have joined the Congress. Similarly, in Borivli, the BJP has been allotted six of seven municipal wards, with one going to the Shinde camp.
