Thackeray Faction Dominates Girangaon Stronghold in BMC Elections

• Shiv Sena's 25-year rule in Mumbai Municipal Corporation appears to end, but Thackeray faction retains Girangaon stronghold.
• Thackeray brothers (Shiv Sena UBT and MNS) secured 5 out of 6 key wards in Sewri and Lalbaug assembly constituencies.
• Voters in Girangaon preferred Thackerays despite BJP Mahayuti's gains across Mumbai.
• Victory in Sewri-Lalbaug, a traditional Shiv Sena and MNS stronghold, boosts morale for upcoming assembly elections.
• Key winners include Urmila Panchal, Shraddha Jadhav, Shraddha Pednekar, Kiran Tawde, Supriya Dalvi, and Sachin Padwal.
