BMC Elections: Mumbai Results Turn, Can Thackeray Make a Comeback?
- •Mumbai Municipal Corporation election results remain unclear with vote counting ongoing.
- •BJP initially led strongly but later fell short of a clear majority, now at 82 seats.
- •Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) and MNS combined have secured 70 seats, hoping for a comeback.
- •Congress emerges as the 'kingmaker' with 22 seats, holding significant influence.
- •Mahayuti (BJP+Shiv Sena) needs 114 seats for majority, currently at 105, requiring external support.
Why It Matters: BMC election results are fluid; BJP lacks clear majority, making Congress a crucial kingmaker.
