MUMBAI: The Samajwadi Party (SP) which is fighting the BMC polls solo, has released its first list of candidates for the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections. The party also officially kicked off its political campaign in the MMR region after announcing its list of candidates.
The party’s Maharashtra president, Abu Azmi, announced the first list comprising 21 candidates who will contest the civic polls across various wards in Mumbai.
Earlier, Azmi had made it clear that the Party would contest the BMC elections independently, without entering into any alliance. Though there were some initial talks at joining an alliance, the party decided to go on its own steam.
The list, issued by the party’s Mumbai–Maharashtra unit, includes aspirants from multiple wards and marks the formal start of the Samajwadi Party’s campaign for the high-stakes civic elections in the country’s financial capital.
