After the change in the equation at the state government level, Congress — the opposition party in the BMC is eyeing key posts in the committees. Congress group leaders are hopeful that they will get the chairperson post of the Statutory committee and two out of the six special committees.

Congress group leader Ravi Raja who is now on the Opposition leader post said, "Congress will stake claim on Standing and Education committee chairperson's post and two special committees chairperson's posts. Even NCP should claim for one post. Congress with 44 MLAs and NCP with 54 together in alliance supported Sena (56 MLAs) to help Uddhav Thackeray become the CM. Now in BMC, we expect the same."
