BJP-Shiv Sena Alliance Marks 100 Days in Mumbai BMC with Governance Efforts and Political Tensions

The BJP-Shiv Sena Mahayuti alliance completed 100 days in control of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), marked by both governance initiatives and internal tensions. BJP's Ritu Tawde serves as Mumbai Mayor amid controversies over her conduct and alliance strains. BJP leaders highlight reforms including scrapping over Rs 1,100 crore in tenders to promote transparency and savings in key projects. However, political disagreements and opposition criticism reflect ongoing challenges within the coalition's administration.
