Eknath Shinde thanks people of Mumbai for BJP-Shiv Sena's big victory

In this episode of Newstrack, the focus is on the landmark victory of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra civic elections. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has emerged as the 'man of the moment' after the alliance captured majorities in key strongholds including Thane, Pune, Nagpur, and Nashik. Most significantly, the alliance has ended the 30-year dominance of the Thackeray family over the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Asia's richest municipality. Fadnavis stated, 'He promised, he delivered,' as the report traces his journey from Nagpur's youngest mayor to the architect of this saffron surge. The programme features exclusive interviews with Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who thanked the people of Mumbai for BJP-Shiv Sena's big victory, Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora and Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar also weighed in on how the results settled the debate over the 'real' Shiv Sena and signal a shift toward aspirational, infrastructure-led politics in India's commercial capital.
