The Indian National Congress has formed an alliance with Prakash Ambedkar's Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections, allocating 62 seats to the VBA. This move aims to consolidate Dalit, OBC, and minority votes for Congress, potentially improving its electoral prospects. However, Ambedkar's history of unpredictable political alliances introduces an element of uncertainty regarding the long-term stability and success of this partnership.
