After RS win, BJP eyes fifth Council seat in Maharashtra

The Hindu  

Riding high on successful Rajya Sabha election from Maharashtra, Bharatiya Janata Party has set its eyes on June 20 state council polls for 10 vacant seats, elcetions for which will be through secret ballot. The ruling MVA had proposed that in return to making Rajya Sabha election unopposed, it will ensure victory of fifth BJP candidate, which the BJP declined. The MVA is confident of winning six seats with two seats going to each of the MVA constituents, namely Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress. The changed equation following Rajya Sabha polls, which saw BJP getting 123 votes, has given the party confidence that it will ensure the victory of five candidates by ensuring few more votes from the MVA.
