‘BJP Won By Betrayal’: Uddhav Thackeray’s First Reaction On Mumbai Civic Poll Results
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, in his first public remarks post-BMC elections, criticized the BJP for winning through betrayal and said loyalty cannot be bought. He described the polls as a fight for Balasaheb Thackeray’s legacy and Marathi pride, calling it a battle beyond civic politics. Thackeray thanked voters and condemned threats and coercion faced by candidates, saying the results still reflected the strength of Sena (UBT). After nearly three decades, the Thackerays lost control of Mumbai’s richest civic body to the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance. Sena (UBT) won 65 seats, MNS six, while BJP and Shinde’s faction took 89 and 29 seats, setting the stage for a new Sena-versus-Sena contest in the city and Marathi heartland.
