Mumbai: Days after the Shiv Sena snapped ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the latter on Sunday decided to contest the 2022 Mumbai civic body elections on its own.

Mumbai: It has been over a week since the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government took charge in Maharashtra but the trio is yet to reach an understanding over portfolios. Even the six Cabinet ministers, who were sworn in along with chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on November 28, haven’t been allocated ministries.
