Maharashtra Election Results 2025: Mahayuti wins 207 of 288 municipal presidents; BJP bags 117 posts

As Mahayuti alliance came out victorious in Maharashtra civic elections, Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC says, "This is a magnificent victory, in the days to come, those who think that they can sit at home and score brownie points, gone are those days. We like to thank Eknath Shinde's Ladki Bahin, who have come forth, and supported us in this victory, and for those who believe that they can take diggings at rivals, now it is a time for them to understand that their fate is to stay at home. People have once again shown who the real Shiv Sena is, and the message is clear, do your work, people will not vote on surname."

Of the 17 local self government bodies, NCP won in Lonavala, Daund, Indapur, Jejuri, Baramati, Phursungi, Wadgaon Maval, Malegaon. Of the 17 local self government bodies, at 10 places NCP got its candidates elected as council presidents. Chakan, Manchar, Rajgurunagar and Junnar Municipal Councils were won by Shiv Sena, Saswad and Alandi by BJP. ''The mandate which NCP received in the local self government body polls is the victory of development, stability and politics in the interest of people. We will live up to the trust that voters have shown in us through our work,'' said NCP national president Ajit Pawar while reacting to the party's performance.
