As counting in the Mumbai civic body polls drew to an end, Congress’ fate in the city was sealed following a resounding defeat to both BJP and Shiv Sena who managed to drive past the grand old party. At 2 pm, the Congress had won 17 wards and was leading in another 5 wards, a steep drop from the 52 wards it had won in the last election in 2012. The Sena, which has been ruling the BMC for over two decades, looked all set to retain power. The Sena and the BJP had fought the elections separately.
