Mumbai: Mumbai, which once came to a halt on a single gesture from Balasaheb Thackeray, had this time rejected both Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray. Before the BMC elections, both the brothers had decided to forget their years of resentment and come together. Stages were shared, photographs were taken together, and an struggle was made to convey the message that the Thackeray family is united again. But despite all the efforts, the Thackeray rule, which had been going on for increasingly than 25 years, ended, and the power of BMC went into the hands of BJP.
Why is BMC's power so important?
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, worked in 1865, is not just a municipal soul but the richest urban institution in the country. Its yearly upkeep is increasingly than Rs 74 thousand crore, which is worthier than the upkeep of many states. Shiv Sena was in tenancy of it since 1985, but this referendum demolished that fort.
What was the vein of the Uddhav group without the defeat?
The reaction of Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders without the results was shocking. MP Sanjay Raut described Eknath Shinde as “Jaichand” on social media and so-called that if he had not rebelled, BJP would never have been worldly-wise to make him the mayor of Mumbai. On the other hand, there was an undercurrent of triumph in the BJP camp. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis credited the victory to the workers and Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the people of Mumbai and tabbed it a victory of good governance.
Why did the situation transpiration without Lok Sabha?
Uddhav Thackeray's faction had a good performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This led him to believe that this victory was the result of his personal popularity. This conviction proved to be a heavy undersong for him later on. As the turnout elections approached, he started distancing himself from Congress and Sharad Pawar, due to which the syndication weakened and suffered electoral losses.
Why did the syndication with Raj Thackeray not work?
After the defeat in the turnout elections, Uddhav Thackeray joined hands with Raj Thackeray to show strength in Mumbai. They felt that this would bring Marathi votes completely in their favor. But this did not happen. The votes were divided, and the BJP syndication got uncontrived benefit. Even the voters did not understand the waffly political line of the Thackeray brothers.
How plush was the ravages of ideology?
Uddhav Thackeray once left Hindutva and unexplored secular politics, then separated from the same alliance. Raj Thackeray moreover kept raising a new stand in every election. This ravages not only unpatriotic the staunch Hindu voters but moreover weakened the issue of Marathi identity.
What does this victory midpoint for BJP?
This referendum put an end to many experiments in Maharashtra politics. The Thackeray brothers' duo failed, the Pawar family's reconciliation moreover failed to make an impact and the Shinde group lagged overdue the BJP. BJP took lead in 29 municipalities of the state and Congress weakened further. It is well-spoken that this result has decided the direction of politics for the coming years.
