In the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, the Mahayuti alliance faces a significant setback as nominations for candidates in two wards have been rejected. The Shinde-led Shiv Sena's candidate was disqualified in Ward 211 due to incomplete documentation. In Ward 212, a BJP candidate's nomination was rejected for submitting the AB form 15 minutes past the deadline. This disqualification leaves the Mahayuti without candidates in these two wards, potentially opening opportunities for rival parties like the MNS.
