Civic polls: Cong & NCP eye tie-up; Sena awaits BJP's response

September 30, 2015 10:23

With just a month to go for the civic polls in Kalyan-Dombivli and Kolhapur, the Congress and NCP are eyeing to join hands, just as the Shiv Sena expects a "positive response" from the BJP for a pre-poll alliance for the two municipal bodies. The election in these two municipal corporations are scheduled to be held on November 1.

Maharashtra unit chief of Congress Ashok Chavan said his party is open for an alliance with the NCP, provided its local leadership is comfortable working with that party. The state unit president of NCP Sunil Tatkare also said a ""positive response" is expected from Congress for a pre-poll alliance.
