BMC Polls: Congress Dumps Uddhav's Sena, MVA Alliance Crumbles; Sharad Pawar in Focus

• Congress announced it will not ally with Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) for the upcoming BMC elections.
• This decision effectively breaks the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls.
• Congress plans to contest BMC elections independently or with "like-minded parties" like Prakash Ambedkar's Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi.
• The party aims to fight against both BJP and Shiv Sena (UBT), focusing on development and corruption issues.
• The split has put Sharad Pawar under scrutiny, with speculation rising about his future political moves.

Why It Matters: Congress breaks MVA for BMC polls, rejecting Uddhav's Sena; eyes new allies and Sharad Pawar.
