In the upcoming Nagpur civic polls, the BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena will contest together, with the BJP fielding 143 candidates and Shiv Sena eight. Meanwhile, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance has fractured, as Congress and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) will contest separately. The NCP (SP) accused Congress of ignoring their demand for 15 seats, suggesting it might inadvertently aid the BJP. The elections for the 151-member Nagpur Municipal Corporation are part of broader municipal elections across Maharashtra.
