• Fadnavis admitted the Akot alliance was a mistake; BJP withdrew and issued a suspension notice to the local MLA upon discovery.
• In Ambernath, local BJP members allied with Congress defectors to keep the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena out, despite state-level partnership.
• Fadnavis stated the Ambernath alliance was not official; Congress expelled its corporators who then joined BJP, creating a 'wrong narrative'.
