Signalling further cracks in the Maha Vikas Aghadi, senior Congress leader Milind Deora on Wednesday slammed alliance partner Shiv Sena. Calling the move of delimitation of wards in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) “unconstitutional, undemocratic and against alliance dharma”, he has now written to Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde to scrap these delimitations altogether.

Terming the intention of the Shiv Sena “malicious", he said the Congress will fight this to the end. The open criticism of Sena comes a day after Maharashtra Congress called the Uddhav Thackeray-led party’s decision to back Draupadi Murmu for the President’s post “unfathomable".
