The Congress party has officially announced it will contest the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections independently, fielding candidates across all 227 wards. This strategic shift comes just one day after Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve criticized Congress's alliance approach and seat-sharing delays. Mumbai Congress leadership has launched a campaign highlighting alleged corruption under BJP-led Mahayuti administration, while government officials dismiss the party's solo strategy as ineffective against the ruling coalition.
