After last year’s state assembly elections, the ruling alliance of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP, Ajit Pawar faction) has now hoisted the flag in Maharashtra municipal elections also. According to the trends found so far in the counting of votes on Sunday, he is maintaining a clear lead in 214 local bodies.
In the ongoing counting of votes in 253 out of 288 city councils and nagar panchayats, BJP is leading in 118 bodies, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in 59 and Ajit Pawar-led NCP in 37 bodies.

Deputy CM Shinde said – Results and victory of Mahayuti are just a trailer
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that the results of Maharashtra’s local body elections are a trailer of what is going to happen in the municipal elections to be held on January 15. Shiv Sena leader Shinde also lauded his army’s ‘strike rate’ and said, ‘These results confirm the good work done by our party.’ Talking to reporters, he said that these results reflect the tendency of the public which gives priority to development over politics. Mahayuti’s victory is just a trailer. Mahayuti will repeat the same excellent performance in the upcoming municipal elections also.
In the municipal and city council elections, Shiv Sena got more seats than Mahavikas Aghadila. It is clear that Shiv Sena’s strength is increasing in Navi Mumbai. Therefore, everyone does not stop being careless and appeals like this to Shiv Sainiks to unite them.
