The political tussle over the Mumbai Mayor's post has intensified, with the Shinde-led Shiv Sena reportedly demanding a 2.5-year term-sharing formula. However, the Mumbai BJP chief has denied any such discussions, stating that no tenure-sharing arrangement has been finalised. The BJP has reiterated that coordination between Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde remains strong and that the Mayor will be from the MahaYuti alliance.
