Party to launch campaign to reach grassroots workers and make a case to its leadership for contesting all 227 BMC seats; ministers to hold janata darbars
Congress leaders during a meeting at the party office on Tuesday
Jagtap recalled the party's previous performance when it won 70-80 seats in the BMC elections as against the 31 it won in 2017. “We should learn about how grass-roots workers feel through the 100-day drive. We will also be able to assess the winnability of prospective candidates,”
Jagtap said, adding that the 12 Congress ministers would hold a 'janata darbar' to resolve problems related to their departments. The dates of both initiatives will be declared soon.
MRCC also plans to create a report for the high command. “We will convince the leadership about our resolve to contest all 227 wards. Many of our workers and leaders went to the BJP but they aren't happy now. They want to return home. We will induct as many leaders as possible in 100 days,” Jagtap added.
MRCC working president Charan Singh Sapra said the MVA government and BMC were independent politically. “We are in the Opposition in the BMC. We will oppose the Shiv Sena when it comes to its failure in resolving civic issues. We are a responsible party,” he said.
