The BJP-led Mahayuti on Friday emerged Mumbaicha Raja, retaining control of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and decisively ending the three-decade dominance of the Thackeray family over India’s richest civic body.

The BJP delivered clear, high-margin wins in suburban power centres such as Mulund West, Dahisar, Goregaon and Andheri East, signalling organisational depth and booth-level consolidation. In Mulund West alone, BJP candidates registered sweeping victories with five-figure margins, reinforcing the party’s grip over the eastern suburbs.

The Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, the BJP’s principal ally, held ground in crucial pockets such as Chandivali, Goregaon and Jogeshwari, helping the Mahayuti lock in numbers even where the BJP was not the lead contender.

The Shiv Sena (UBT), meanwhile, managed to protect select bastions, including Mahim, Vikhroli and parts of Andheri, but these wins were scattered and insufficient to counter the alliance’s broader momentum. High-profile defeats of Sena legacy candidates underlined how brand recall alone no longer guarantees electoral safety in Mumbai.
