On this Special Report, Preeti Choudhry analyses the high-stakes battle for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and 29 other municipalities across Maharashtra. As counting begins, Choudhry cautions viewers to ‘take everything with a pinch of salt’ regarding exit polls, despite projections suggesting a sweep for the Mahayuti alliance. The programme examines whether the BJP can cross the 100-ward mark and emerge as the single largest party in Mumbai, a city governed by the Thackerays for over three decades. Key data from Access My India is discussed, highlighting a potential counter-polarisation where 68% of non-Marathi speaking voters backed the Mahayuti. The analysis also covers the ‘Mamu factor’, noting that 41% of Muslim voters reportedly backed the Congress over the Shiv Sena (UBT), and explores the impact of Raj Thackeray’s controversial remarks on South Indian voters. From Pune, Omkar Wambley reports on the unique NCP faction alliance against the BJP in the local body elections.
