In Ambernath, Maharashtra, a political power struggle has unfolded in the Municipal Council following recent elections. The Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde, emerging as the single largest party with 27 seats, has formed a new majority bloc. This bloc includes 27 Sena councillors, four from the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction, and one independent, totaling 32 members. This move outmaneuvered the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had initially attempted to form a coalition with 12 Congress councillors and four NCP councillors. The shifting alliances highlight complex local political dynamics within the state's ruling coalition.
