BMC election: Rebel candidates return to Shiv Sena, bring tally to 87

After Thursday's result day, today Sena had something more to cheer as it's two rebellion candidates Snehal More from Vikhroli and Tulsidas Shinde from Dindoshi joined Shiv Sena again. Another independent corporator from Andheri West Changez Multani extended his support to Shiv Sena bringing the party's tally in BMC to 87.

"By heart we are Shiv Sainks. During election some miscommunication took place between us thus we decide to contest independently. Now again we have joined Shiv Sena," said corporator Snehal More's brother-in-law Sudhir More.

Uddhav today doge the question of alliance with the BJP. On being asked about independent corporators joining and supporting



Sena, Uddhav said, "Let me enjoy this moment as Mumbaikars have given mandate to us for consecutive 5th time. At appropriate time you will get to know about alliance and numbers."

Shiv Sena to get that magic number 114 now needs 27 corporators. Congress has 31 corporators, NCP 9 and MNS 7. Uddhav has not revealed so far who he gonna approached for support. "So far we have not got any offer from BJP or Shiv Sena. We are meeting with our party chief and senior leaders next week in which we will discuss the BMC issue. But one this is clearly we will extend our support to party who's got higher numbers and it will be issue-based support," said NCP Mumbai chief Sachin Ahir.
