Congress move to go solo in Mumbai civic body polls rattles Sena (UBT), casts shadow on MVA unity

Congress's solo BMC poll bid, citing concerns over Shiv Sena (UBT)'s MNS ties, highlights MVA's ideological rifts and internal Congress divisions. While some favor local alliances, others oppose the MNS due to its past stance. This move risks vote division and potentially aids the BJP, despite NCP (SP)'s push for unity.
