- •BJP and Congress initially allied in Ambernath Municipality to keep Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena out of power.
- •Congress suspended 12 of its corporators for forming an alliance with BJP, citing differing ideologies.
- •These 12 suspended Congress corporators subsequently joined the BJP, significantly strengthening BJP's position.
