Dabbawalas Shift Allegiance: Back Mahayuti Over Thackeray for Mumbai Polls

• Mumbai's Dabbawala organization announced support for the Mahayuti alliance in upcoming Maharashtra Municipal Corporation elections.
• The shift comes after Uddhav Thackeray failed to fulfill promises made in 2017, despite Dabbawalas supporting Shiv Sena (Thackeray) in past elections.
• Dabbawala President Subhash Talekar stated CM Devendra Fadnavis has positively addressed their issues, building confidence.
• Promises for Dabbawalas, including affordable housing, were part of Shiv Sena's 2017 Mumbai Municipal Corporation election manifesto but remained unfulfilled.
• Mumbai BJP President Amit Satam met Subhash Talekar, expressing gratitude for their support.

Why It Matters: Dabbawalas abandon Thackeray over unfulfilled promises, endorse Mahayuti for Mumbai elections.
