Maharashtra's upcoming civic polls saw widespread internal party turmoil on the final day of nominations. Disgruntled aspirants protested, filed as independents, or switched parties due to seat-sharing disputes and perceived favoritism towards newcomers. Major parties, including the BJP and Shiv Sena (UBT), faced significant revolts, forcing leaders into damage-control efforts. Dramatic incidents, such as car chases and protests at party offices, occurred across cities like Nashik, Mumbai, and Nagpur.
