BJP, Allies To Sweep Mumbai Civic Body BMC, Predict 2 Exit Polls

Voting across 29 municipal corporations was held across Maharashtra. A total of 3.48 crore voters were eligible to decide the fate of 15,931 candidates. The spotlight is on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), India's richest civic body with an annual budget of over Rs 74, 400 crore, where 1,700 candidates are vying for 227 seats in elections being held after a four-year delay. The exit polls done by Axis My India and the JVC have predicted a sweep for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Mumbai. Axis My India exit poll shows that Mahayuti Alliance is projected to win 131-151 seats while the JVC exit poll shows that the alliance would secure 138 seats. In Mumbai, it is a battle between the Thackeray brothers, who have reunited in its backdrop after 20 years to reclaim their heritage, vs the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance.
