Will Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray's Reunion Attract Marathi Voters in BMC Election 2026?

This special report focuses on the upcoming Brigham Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, the first since the Shiv Sena’s split and notable for the alliance between brothers Uddhav and Raj Thackeray. The central question is whether this reunion can consolidate the Marathi vote. According to Yashwant Deshmukh, Founder of C Voter, while the alliance has turned a ‘one-way traffic’ election into a real contest, a clear majority for the Thackerays remains doubtful. He states, ‘Yes, it will galvanize their core vote for sure, but the core vote itself is not good enough’. The discussion also features analysis from panelists Sudhir Suryavanshi and Shankar Iyer on Mumbai’s changing demographics, the BJP-Shinde faction’s strategy, and whether the Thackeray brothers can successfully revive the Shiv Sena’s original 1969 appeal in a city that is now a services-based society.
