BJP-Shiv Sena Alliance Wins BMC Elections

The BJP and Shiv Sena (Shinde) alliance, called Mahayuti, won the BMC elections in Mumbai.

The BJP got 89 seats, and Shiv Sena (Shinde) got 29 seats.

They need to work together to have enough seats to run the city.

The BJP says they want to make Mumbai cleaner and better.

Shiv Sena (Shinde) says they want a fair share of power.

There is some fighting over who will be the mayor.

The mayor will be chosen by the new city leaders.

The mayor is like the city's leader, but someone else runs the day-to-day work.

The BJP and Shiv Sena (Shinde) will work together to run the city.

Other parties, like the Congress and AIMIM, also talked about the results.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said they are not involved in the tussle between the BJP and Shinde.

The lottery will decide the reservation for the mayoral post.
