The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to reclaim the mayoral seat in Mumbai after more than 40 years, concluding a significant era dominated by the Thackeray family.
Ritu Tawde, a seasoned corporator with a history in Congress, has filed her nomination for this prestigious role. This move signals a shift in political dynamics within the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
With a coalition strength of 118 corporators, the BJP and its allies have a stronghold over the 227-member civic body, surpassing the required 114-seat threshold to secure leadership roles.
