On this Special Report, the focus is on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections as polling officially begins across 227 wards. A significant development has emerged from Navi Mumbai’s Kharghar Sector 20, where bags of cash were discovered, allegedly intended for voter distribution. While no campaign leaflets were found with the money, a case has been registered against unknown suspects at the Kharghar police station. The reporter notes that ‘distribution of money, what we are hearing on the ground has been rampant and it has mostly been done in envelopes.’ The election marks a high-stakes battle featuring over 1,700 candidates, with the spotlight on the ‘triple engine’ Mahayuti alliance and the reunited Thackeray brothers. As the clock struck 7:30 AM on January 15, Mumbaikars began exercising their democratic rights to decide the future of India’s richest civic body. The results of this intense three-way contest are expected to be clear by January 16, following years of anticipation for these local polls.
