In the 2026 Maharashtra civic polls, the BJP-Shinde Sena (Mahayuti) has secured a dominant lead, crossing the majority mark in the BMC and ending the Thackeray era. Despite the Uddhav-Raj reunion, the opposition trails across Pune and Nagpur. The BJP leads in over 1,100 wards statewide, signaling a major shift in urban power after a nine-year wait.
