UPDATED: Jan 17, 2026 08:28 IST
In this special report, the focus is on the landmark results of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, held after a gap of over eight years. The ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, has emerged victorious, marking a significant shift in the power dynamics of India's financial capital. The BJP has secured its position as the single largest party, surpassing its 2017 performance. This victory ensures a 'triple-engine' government with the BJP in power at the Centre, the State, and now the local civic body. The report highlights that 'The people of Mumbai have accepted development and have not done anti-development,' as the city prepares to welcome its first-ever BJP mayor.

The programme explores how these results reshape the political landscape of Maharashtra.
