Exit Polls Predict Sweep For BJP-Led Coalition In Mumbai Civic Body BMC | Read

The BJP and the Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena will win big in the elections for the prestigious Mumbai civic body -- the Brihanmumbai Corporation -- four exit polls have indicated. The reunited Thackerays will apparently scoop up the Maratha and the Muslim votes. The north and south Indians, however, have voted overwhelmingly for the BJP, exit polls have predicted. As is almost the norm, young voters and the women have sided with the BJP too. Exit polls though, don't always get it right. The elections for the Brihanmumbai Corporation, the richest in Asia with a budget equal to a small state, was held last in 2017, when the united Shiv Sena - which had been controlling it for decades, retained its grip. Eight years and a split in Sena, it appears, could bring about a sea change in the politics over the august body.
