Congress and Nationalist Congress Party have assailed the ruling BJP for its Congress Mukta (Congress free) Mumbai and Maharashtra agenda for ensuing assembly election slated for October. Both the parties have termed it BJP's arrogance to stay in power.
Newly appointed state BJP chief Chandrakant Patil, announced that Congress Mukta Maharashtra will be his priority and the leaders from opposition will be inducted into the party ahead of assembly election. The timing coincides with BJP's meeting to review assembly poll preparations in the presence of working president JP Nadda in the city.
The city BJP chief Mangal Prabhat Lodha announced that his priority will be to win all 36 assembly seats in partnership with Shiv Sena and make city Congress Mukta.
