BMC Election: Congress-Vanchit Alliance Hits Snag; Wadettiwar Ready to Go Solo

• Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar stated Congress is ready to fight BMC elections independently if an alliance with Vanchit Aghadi or Sharad Pawar doesn't materialize.
• Wadettiwar's comments follow Prakash Ambedkar's warning to Congress, indicating renewed friction in alliance talks.
• Congress is open to alliances with ideologically aligned parties like Vanchit, Sharad Pawar, and Uddhav Thackeray, but not MNS.
• Wadettiwar mentioned that Vanchit Aghadi had sent a message for an alliance in Mumbai and Nagpur, but their current stance is unclear.
• The final picture regarding alliances is expected to become clear within two days, coinciding with the nomination filing deadline.

Why It Matters: Congress is firm on fighting BMC elections independently if alliance talks with Vanchit Aghadi fail.
