Shinde Sena: 125 BMC Seats or Solo Fight if 'Betrayed'

  • Shinde's Shiv Sena aims to contest 125 seats in the upcoming BMC elections.
  • The party is prepared to contest solo if 'betrayed' by its Mahayuti alliance partners.
  • Internal preparations include seat-mapping and identifying strong support areas.
  • Shinde Sena claims support from nearly 125 sitting and former corporators.
  • The party prioritizes a high 'strike rate' in winnable seats over merely contesting many.

Why It Matters: Shinde Sena's demands signal potential instability in Maharashtra's ruling alliance.
