Maharashtra Minister Ashish Shelar on Sunday likened the condition of the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) to the "dangerous" and "dilapidated" buildings of Mumbai, reported news agency PTI.

Talking to reporters after inducting two former corporators into the BJP, Shelar, the party's Mumbai unit president, said 50 former corporators from the Shiv Sena (UBT) have already joined the rival faction.

He said, "The undivided Shiv Sena won 84 seats, and the BJP won 82 in the 2017 Mumbai civic polls. Now, with more than 100 former corporators, we have crossed the Shiv Sena's original number. Apart from the Shiv Sena (UBT), former corporators from other parties have also joined us," reported PTI.
