City BJP president Ashish Shelar has confirmed that BJP corporators will be allowed to run for the elections

Priorities, like loyalty, are fickle in politics. Less than a month after CM Devendra Fadnavis announced that the BJP would not contest any committee election in the BMC and would support the Shiv Sena instead, the party has gone back on its promise. It will now allow its corporators to run for chairmanship of ward committees, popularly called 'prabhag'. Elections to the ward committees will be conducted next week.
