The Congress-led alliance has hit a major roadblock ahead of the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections in Mumbai. The Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), led by Prakash Ambedkar, has failed to finalise candidates for 16 of the seats allocated to it in the city. Sources reveal that under the seat-sharing arrangement with the Congress, the VBA was allotted a total of 62 seats in Mumbai. However, a shortage of suitable candidates and incomplete documentation of several potential nominees prevented the VBA from filing nominations on 16 of those seats.
