The Shiv Sena (UBT) is considering collecting reports from the ground level in all districts to gauge party workers' feelings about going solo for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election.

According to sources, party chief Uddhav Thackeray met with former Mumbai corporators recently. In the meeting, most former corporators demanded that the party contest the upcoming election alone. While Thackeray avoided the subject, sources claim the party is considering contesting the election without allies. “Instead of directly deciding on whether or not to contest the election solo, the party will look at reports from all districts to understand the view of local office-bearers on the subject,” a source claimed.
