Mahayuti Suffers Major Setback in Mumbai BMC Polls, Out of Two Wards

• Mahayuti alliance faces a significant blow, failing to field candidates in two Mumbai BMC wards (211 and 212).
• In Ward 212, BJP candidate Mandakini Khamkar missed the nomination deadline by just 15 minutes, leading to her application rejection.
• For Ward 211, the Mahayuti candidate's nomination was invalid due to incomplete documentation.
• The setback occurred despite intense efforts by BJP workers and last-minute seat-sharing agreements within Mahayuti.
• This development gives Shiv Sena Thackeray faction candidates a slight advantage in the affected wards.

Why It Matters: Mahayuti's last-minute coordination issues led to losing two crucial BMC wards before voting.
