Congress vs UBT Sena Clash Ahead of BMC Polls As Mahayuti Sweeps Local Bodies
Political tensions are escalating in Maharashtra ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections after Congress announced it will contest the polls independently, prompting a sharp rebuttal from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, which dismissed Congress as a "tourist party" in Mumbai. The war of words comes amid a sweeping victory for the ruling Mahayuti alliance in local body elections, with the BJP emerging as the single largest party. While the opposition has accepted defeat, Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) have alleged EVM manipulation and misuse of money power, accusing the Election Commission of facilitating Mahayuti's win.
