Maharashtra’s Mahayuti partners have agreed to appoint alliance mayors in the influential Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC), and Ulhasnagar bodies, a move formalized Wednesday.
CM Fadnavis, returning from WEF Davos, will meet Shinde to lock in details, BJP announced.
Backed by last week’s Bavankule-Shinde dialogues, the pact honors voter will: ‘Mahayuti’s rule reflects the mandate,’ Bavankule affirmed.
Strategically, it fortifies Shinde Sena-BJP sway in metro-adjacent hubs, spurring growth and poll readiness.
Fresh twist: Shinde Sena’s MNS alliance in KDMC yields 62 seats, independent of BJP, impacting UBT.
In Ulhasnagar, Shrikant Shinde courts extras to vault past 40 from 37 apiece with BJP.
Retaliatory to Ambernath’s BJP-Congress prez grab and Shinde-NCP deputy riposte, KDMC hardball is BJP’s response.
Fadnavis’ input promises stable leadership, enhancing urban admin and alliance cohesion.
