Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS have released a joint manifesto for the BMC polls, promising Rs 1,500 monthly aid for domestic and Koli women, 100 units of free electricity, and property tax waivers for homes up to 700 sq ft. The alliance also pledges affordable housing, improved public transport, and enhanced civic services. Concurrently, Uddhav Thackeray has urged the State Election Commission to cancel civic elections in wards with unopposed wins, alleging manipulation and an "insult to democracy" by the ruling alliance.
