The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured early, unopposed victories for two women candidates, Rekha Rajan Chaudhary and Asavari Kedar Navre, in the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) elections. These wins, attributed by party leaders to strong grassroots support and public trust, allow the BJP to "open its account" before polling. Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis congratulated the candidates, viewing these unopposed wins as a positive message of public confidence ahead of the broader elections.
