With BMC elections round the corner, ruling party hosts Diwali bashes in Worli and Dadar

The festivities organised by BJP’s Mumbai unit at Worli last week
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will put on a show of strength by organising grand Diwali celebrations in the Shiv Sena’s bastion—Dadar—on Tuesday morning. The Sena’s ally-turned-rival held similar festivities in Aaditya Thackeray’s Assembly constituency, Worli, from October 19 to 23.
Akshata Tendulkar, a BJP leader from Mahim, is the organiser of Dipotsav, a traditional cultural programme. “For the first time since 2016, we are organising a Diwali programme at an open space, Raja Bade Chowk near Shivaji Park. For the past few years, we had been organising a programme in auditoriums. This year, our Mumbai unit asked us to hold it in an open space,” Tendulkar said.
