SHiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam on tues said his company should acquire 90-100 seats in the next month's Brihanmumbai Municipal corp (BMC) polls, including the wards won by the undivided Shiv Sena in the 2017 civic elections, a exact that came amid alliance talks with the BJP. Addressing a press conference, Nirupam also accused Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray of abandoning the ideals of party founder Bal Thackeray by "joining hands with the Congress and jihadi Muslims". This is not acceptable to Marathi manoos, Nirupam claimed. By all circumstances, Mumbai will have a Mahayuti mayor and "certainly a Mamu or Khan will not be the one", he said. Any attempt to do so will be thwarted, Nirupam further said. "The Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha criteria should be applied to the BMC polls," the former MP said. He said during the Vidhan Sabha polls, seats won by the undivided Shiv Sena were allotted to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. "We expect that the same formula should be applied in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls," Nirupam said. Of the 84 former corporators of the undivided Shiv Sena, some 60-65 have joined the Shinde-led Sena and were assured election tickets, he said, adding that former corporators from other parties like the Congress have also joined the Sena. "With 90-100 seats (to Shiv Sena), the BJP and Shiv Sena can give a good fight," he added. Talks between Shiv Sena-BJP are underway to firm up an alliance between the two parties for the BMC polls. There are a total of 227 seats in the BMC. Elections to 29 civic bodies in Maharashtra will take place on January 15.
