In 2002 and 2007, we fought separately, though we were in an alliance. In 2012, we joined with the Nationalist Congress Party, Samajwadi and Republic Party of India but lost miserably. Alliances don’t work in local bodies.

2014 onward, it has been Modi tsunami. In 2017 when his party was at its peak, we were the only party to contest on all 227 seats. One of our candidates got 800 votes; it means change can happen.

This time, either there will be a Congress Mayor or without Congress there can’t be a Mayor.
