Buoyed with the BJP’s sterling performance in Maharashtra local body elections, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said it is an indication to how things would unfold in BMC polls.

The elections to 29 municipal corporations, including BMC, will take place on January 15, 2026. “The BJP’s victory in municipal council and municipal panchayats is a trailer. It shows how things will unfold in BMC polls,” Fadnavis said, implying that the party is not going to leave any stone unturned to dislodge Shiv Sena ( UBT) in the Mumbai civic body.

“Today’s mandate was for good governance and development model of the Mahayuti government. What makes this elections so special is the public trust in development agenda… I urge every party worker to work even harder towards greater victories in the future,” the CM said.

Expressing gratitude to the people of Maharashtra for the overwhelming mandate to the BJP and Mahayuti in the municipal council and nagar panchayat elections, Fadnavis said, “This remarkable success belongs to our dedicated karyakartas; it is their hard work, commitment, and perseverance that has made this victory possible.”

Drawing attention to the party’s growing expansion and acceptance both urban and rural parts of the state, Fadnavis said, “Since 2014, the BJP has transcended beyond urban belt. Even in 2024 Lok Sabha elections when the party performed poor, the vote base remained in tact in rural and urban.”
