Nashik's nomination day for Municipal Corporation elections saw widespread revolts within major parties over ticket distribution. The BJP denied tickets to 22 sitting corporators, favoring defectors, sparking internal dissent and independent filings. Shiv Sena also experienced infighting, particularly concerning Yuva Sena workers. Congress aspirants protested by locking the city office. A triangular contest is anticipated between BJP, a Shiv Sena-NCP alliance, and the Mahavikas Aghadi, with the BJP fielding candidates independently and facing criticism for fielding multiple family members and failing to nominate a candidate in a Muslim-dominated ward.
