The Congress, an ally of the Shiv Sena and the NCP in Maharashtra, will contest on all seats in the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls, the party's city unit president, Bhai Jagtap, asserted.

He said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was to address party workers this month but could not do so due to the coronavirus pandemic, will hold a rally during the BMC polls due in early 2022. “The Mumbai Congress will contest the upcoming Mumbai municipal corporation elections on all 236 seats on its own and will once again fly the (Congress flag) tricolour over the BMC,” he said at an event held on the occasion of the 137th foundation day of the Congress here. Jagtap, who is also a legislator, gave an election call on the occasion, 'Hum Pura Ladenge Aur Jitenge' (we will contest on all seats and win).
