Arun Gawli's Daughters Lose in 2026 Mumbai BMC Elections

In the 2026 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections, both daughters of ex-gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli, Geeta and Yogita Gawli, lost their respective wards in Byculla. Geeta was defeated by Samajwadi Party's Amreen Shehzan Abrahani in Ward 212, while Yogita lost to BJP's Rohidas Lokhande in Ward 207. These results mark a decline in the Gawli family's political influence in Mumbai. Arun Gawli, recently released on bail after 17 years in prison, had actively campaigned for his daughters.
