With the trends indicating early lead for Shiv Sena in the BMC polls, a senior party leader exuded confidence on Thursday that there will be no need for them to forge an alliance with BJP in the Mumbai civic body.
"The response of the people has been very good. There are several places where the Sena is leading. This is all due to the faith of people in the leadership of (late Sena supremo) Balasaheb (Thackeray) and Uddhav ji," Sena MP Anil Desai told reporters at the Sena Bhavan here.
"People of Mumbai, with their wisdom, are ready to bring the Sena to power on its own. There will be no alliance needed (with the BJP)," he said.
