The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections are seeing a significant rise in 'family first' politics, with at least 43 leaders securing nominations for relatives. This trend includes children, spouses, and siblings, with prominent figures like Rahul Narvekar, Aslam Shaikh, and Nawab Malik reportedly obtaining multiple tickets for their families. This practice has led to questions about the influence of political dynasties in local governance, with some leaders leveraging established vote banks to favor relatives over other party workers.
