Mahayuti Alliance Wins Mumbai BMC Elections, Citing Development Focus Over Emotional Politics

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and other Mahayuti alliance leaders credited their historic BMC election victory to a focus on development, infrastructure, and governance, which they say Mumbai voters prioritized over emotional or identity-based politics. The BJP-led alliance won 118 seats, with BJP as the largest party. Shinde highlighted rejection of corruption and anti-development agendas, contrasting their progress-oriented governance with previous administrations. Opposition attempts to unite against Mahayuti were unsuccessful, and the alliance aims to further Mumbai's growth as a global city.
