After a lot of speculations and drama in Mumbai, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis confirmed on Saturday that Bharatiya Janata Party won’t put up a candidate for the post of Mayor or Deputy Mayor. The decision came after both Shiv Sena and BJP failed to get a clear mandate in BMC elections opening doors for many possible outcomes. Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray won 84 seats while BJP finished with 82 seats which were way short of required majority of 114.
Fadnavis also cleared his party’s stance by saying that it won’t compromise with transparency. “We will not be in the opposition, we will support the ruling party but will not compromise on transparency,” said Fadnavis. All is not good in Congress either as there have been reports of differences in the party over considering the option of enabling a Shiv Sena candidate to become mayor of Mumbai comes to the fore as a senior party leader strongly opposed the idea. Despite that, earlier in the day, Shiv Sena announced its candidates for the post of Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Whi Vishvanath Mahadeshwar was named party’s candidate for mayor’s post in the BMC, Hareshwar Worlikar will be the nominee for deputy mayor’s post.
