As Mumbai Congress leaders demanded that the party contest all 227 seats in the 2022 corporation elections, the party high command said that it will not make a decision without considering the local opinion. The announcement came at the party's 136th foundation day function at YB Chavan Centre, which also saw leaders telling their MVA government partners to mind their own business, instead of poking their nose in the affairs of a great forum like the Indian National Congress.

Congress' state in-charge HK Patil told a party gathering that he understood the leaders' and party workers' sentiments about contesting the polls on their own. "We will not make any decision without consulting you. This much I can tell you today," he said after newly appointed city Congress president Bhai Jagtap took charge of the office at the same function.
