BMC Election: BJP-Shinde Sena Seat-Sharing Deadlock Deepens Over 48 Seats Offer

• A fierce tug-of-war continues between BJP and Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) over seat-sharing for the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections.
• Despite claims of an agreement on 150 seats, BJP has reportedly offered only 48 seats to the Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
• BJP claims 102 seats, while the Shinde faction insists on 109 seats, including all 84 seats won by the undivided Shiv Sena in 2017.
• BJP argues that the political situation has changed since 2017 and is unwilling to concede seats based on past results.
• The ongoing dispute suggests a worsening deadlock, with a final decision expected in two days, as per Chandrashekhar Bawankule.

Why It Matters: BJP's offer of 48 seats to Shinde Sena for BMC elections creates a major seat-sharing deadlock.
