Bhiwandi Vikas Aghadi Returns for 2026 BNCMC Elections
The Bhiwandi Vikas Aghadi (BVA), a local political party, is coming back to contest the upcoming city elections in Bhiwandi.
The BVA was strong in the past but had some problems and joined the Congress party.
Now, it's returning to the elections to challenge the Congress and other big parties.
The BVA plans to contest only a few seats to keep its members from switching sides.
Other small parties are also getting ready for the elections, making the race more competitive.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), which was once strong in Bhiwandi, is facing internal issues and has a weakened presence.
The elections are expected to be more interesting with many parties and candidates running.
Bhiwandi Vikas Aghadi (BVA) announces its return to contest the 2026 BNCMC elections.
