The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance secured a decisive victory in the 2026 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections, winning 25 of 29 municipal corporations and ending decades of Shiv Sena dominance. Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, whose Mumbai bungalow was partially demolished by the BMC in 2020 under Shiv Sena's control—a move later ruled malicious by the Bombay High Court—congratulated party leaders and expressed satisfaction that those who opposed her have been rejected by voters. The results reflect significant gains for BJP in Mumbai and other key cities across Maharashtra.
