A notable shift in the political landscape of Maharashtra's urban areas was observed on Friday, with the ruling Mahayuti coalition achieving remarkable success in major municipal corporations. Following the crucial voting on Thursday, the counting revealed a clear mandate in favor of the ruling party in urban regions. The coalition surpassed the majority mark in the prestigious Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), marking the end of the Thackeray family's decades-long dominance and ushering in a historic change in the administration of India's wealthiest civic body.

Mahayuti Coalition Dominates Municipal Elections

The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition has secured a significant lead in 24 out of 29 municipal elections. The BJP has emerged as the undisputed 'big brother' within the alliance, showcasing its formidable strength in the state's secondary urban centers. In Nagpur, the party maintained its traditional stronghold, gaining an advantage in over 80 wards and leaving Congress far behind. Similar trends were observed in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Pune, where the Nationalist Congress Party, led by Ajit Pawar, contested separately from the Mahayuti coalition, aligning with his uncle Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party.
