BJP’s Mumbai chief Ashish Shelar’s term as president is on the verge of coming to an end. Two names as possible replacements are doing the rounds. First is MLA Yogesh Sagar who is popular among the BJP’s Gujarati voters and second is Parag Alvani.
However, many in the party are in favour of extending Shelar’s term considering his aggressive attitude, which is being considered apt for dealing with the Shiv Sena. With Shelar being a BMC veteran, his fighting spirit might help the party in 2017, if it decides to fight the civic polls on its own.
