Congress Leader Says Party Will Fight Mumbai Civic Polls Alone, Sena Reacts

After Bihar, the INDIA bloc could be heading for another rift in Maharashtra, thanks to the Congress refusal to go along with the idea of playing on the same side with MNS chief Raj Thackeray.

Senior Congress leader and former Mumbai president Bhai Jagtap said today that the Congress will not ally with Raj Thackeray in the coming civic polls. Nor will it contest the elections in alliance with Uddhav Thackeray and instead, contest independently.

Jagtap said the matter was discussed at a recent meeting of a newly formed committee with Maharashtra in-charge Ramesh Chennithala. There has been no formal announcement though.
