Congress wants to win back north Indian voters in Mumbai
The Hindu
Where it was once the first choice, the party lost ground to the BJP
Faced with the reality that the north Indian voter from Mumbai, who once was politically closer to the Congress party, has shifted considerably to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Mumbai unit of the former has decided to focus on reclaiming that lost ground. With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls likely to be held in the next three to four months, it remains to be seen whether such last minute efforts will deliver the preferred outcomes.
“The Congress has always been the first choice of north Indians in Mumbai. Yes, there were some incidents and some mistakes on our part which created a gap between us. But that was then, and now we are back with a new, fresh team. We are going to north Indians and asking them what they want from us. It will give us positive results for sure,” said Mumbai Congress president Bhai Jagtap.
