Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday hinted that his party might go solo in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election without exiting the Maha Vikas Aghadi.
Talking to reporters, Raut said party workers were insisting the organisation go solo in the local body polls, as there were more aspirants than for the Lok Sabha or state assembly polls.
"Talks are on between Uddhav Thackeray and other party leaders (about whether to go solo) for the BMC polls. Workers want the party to contest the polls solo," he said.
The undivided Shiv Sena controlled the cash-rich BMC for 25 consecutive years  from 1997 to 2022.
The term of the previous elected representatives of the BMC ended in early March 2022, and fresh polls are due for nearly three years now.
Raut said the party's power in Mumbai is undisputed.

Russian tennis player Daniil Savelev has accepted a two-year suspension for doping, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said Friday.
The ITIA said that Savelev tested positive for the prohibited substance meldonium in July 2024. He has been provisionally suspended since August of this year. That means his suspension will end in August 2026.
Savelev had reached a career-high world doubles ranking of 1,486 in August 2022.
The ITIA said that it believed that Savelev had not intentionally taken the banned substance, saying that Savelev admitted to ingesting meldonium tablets, confusing family medication for supplements of a similar appearance.
The doping watchdog said that Savelev agreed to accept the suspension since he did not take any steps to mitigate the rules violation.
