Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Having performed well in the Lok Sabha elections, the Maharashtra Congress is now preparing to make a big splash in the upcoming state elections and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections ). The MVA leadership has already agreed to contest these elections in alliance, and now some of the leaders of the Mumbai Congress unit want the party to make changes in the leadership structure to ensure victory.
Currently, the Mumbai unit of the Congress is led by Varsha Gaikwad, who was recently elected to the Lok Sabha from northeast Mumbai. With his elevation to the Lok Sabha, the Mumbai Congress has urged the party high command to make changes in the city unit.
A senior Congress leader from Mumbai said that they collectively wrote a letter to the party high command and requested them to make necessary modifications in the party structure in view of the upcoming Assembly and BMC elections.
The leader emphasized that they have not directly requested the party high command to change Mumbai party chief Varsha Gaikwad, but have written in their letter that the current leadership of the Mumbai Regional Congress Committee (MRCC) is not taking into confidence to the leaders in Mumbai and that they are not even being updated about the regular programs of the MRCC.
The leaders said in their letter that this lack of coordination can be very detrimental in the upcoming assembly and BMC elections, and to form an MVA government in Maharashtra, a victory in Mumbai is an important precondition.
There is a meeting at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi on Tuesday regarding preparations for the Maharashtra assembly elections. Most of the signatories of the letter are already in Delhi to attend the afternoon meeting at 4 pm.
The letter is signed by former MRCC presidents Bhai Jagtap, Janardan Chandurkar, Rajya Sabha MP and CWC member Chandrakant Handore, former minister Naseem Khan, Charan Singh Sapra and others.
Meanwhile, the central committee of the Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party held a meeting at the residence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on June 22.
Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule said that in the meeting, the party analyzed the entire Lok Sabha elections and the mistakes the party was making in the elections.
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for this year and will elect 288 members of the state legislative assembly.
The BJP fell to nine seats in Maharashtra, down from 23 in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The vote share was 26.18 per cent. The Congress, on the other hand, marginally improved its seat share by securing 13 seats in the state.
The Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) won seven and one seats respectively, taking the NDA's total to 17. The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackrey) won nine seats, while the Nationalist Congress Party - Sharadchandra Pawar won eight seats. .
