Mumbai's civic polls are characterized by a polarization of voters along religious and regional lines. Parties, including the Uddhav Sena and MNS, are attempting to consolidate Marathi votes by targeting North Indian and Gujarati communities. The BJP's rhetoric, such as 'Batenge toh Katenge,' is being used to evoke Hindutva. Concerns have been raised by the UBT Sena that the BJP aims to install a non-Marathi mayor, potentially alienating Marathi voters and consolidating minority support for other parties.
