On this India Today special report, Mumbai Tak Editor Sahil Joshi analyzes the latest exit poll data for the Mumbai BMC elections. Joshi observes that the anticipated consolidation of Marathi voters for the Thackeray brothers ‘hasn’t happened the way they had imagined’, with predictions showing a significant drop in their traditional vote share. The discussion highlights a growing class divide, where upwardly mobile and urban voters are gravitating towards the BJP and Eknath Shinde-led alliance. Sahil Joshi points out that the ‘reverse polarization’ of non-Marathi speaking voters has further benefited the Mahayuti. The panel, including insights from Pradeep Gupta and Shaina NC, explores the impact of candidate accessibility and the failure of the opposition to form a united front. The programme examines whether these numbers signal the emergence of a ‘new Mumbai’ that balances Marathi identity with cosmopolitan aspirations, potentially giving the BJP-led alliance a historic mandate in the municipal corporation.
