The Shiv Sena (UBT) is shifting gears for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls scheduled later this year. The party has organised a meeting at Mahakavi Kalidas Natyamandir in Mulund on June 9 to reach out to grassroots workers.

The UBT camp is leaving no stone unturned as this will be the first civic elections since the split in the Shiv Sena. “Local body elections will be a litmus test for our party and the poll needs to be won at any cost,” a Sena UBT functionary said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

According to the party sources, Aaditya Thackeray will be addressing the gathering. Besides him, other UBT leaders, too, will deliver speeches that will decide the future course of the party’s line and action.
