BJP's Mumbai Domination: Gujarati-Rajasthani Voters Crown Them King in BMC Elections

• The BJP-Grand Alliance secured a clear majority in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, shaking Shiv Sena Thackeray's power.
• Gujarati and Rajasthani voters played a crucial role, with over 90% of their votes going to BJP in their dominated belts.
• Approximately 50 wards, particularly 40-45 seats in Gujarati-dominated areas, were key to BJP's success.
• BJP strengthened its stronghold in North Mumbai and suburbs, sweeping areas like Kandivali, Borivali, Goregaon, Vile Parle, Ghatkopar, Mulund, and Malabar Hill.
• The alliance with Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena also benefited from Gujarati votes, preventing a vote split and ensuring success for alliance candidates.

Why It Matters: Gujarati and Rajasthani voters were instrumental in BJP's decisive victory in the Mumbai BMC elections.
