Bmc Election Results

The BJP today said it won't challenge the Shiv Sena for the post of Mumbai's mayor after the two sparring allies produced an inconclusive result in an election for India's richest civic body, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which they contested separately last month.

The NCP today said it will maintain a distance from both the Shiv Sena and BJP in the Mayoral elections in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, where the recent polls resulted in a hung house.

Following the municipal elections in Maharashtra, particularly in Mumbai, I've been struck by the cynicism and apathy in the media and even among politicians. They appear convinced that our cities are irredeemable and nothing can be done to rescue them.

The fate of two Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC candidates, who were locked in a tie when the votes were counted on Thursday, was decided by a five-year-old girl in southern Mumbai's Girgaum.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray refused to talk on Friday about who will be Mumbai's new mayor as he celebrated his party being number 1 again in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC with 84 seats. The BJP has just two less at 82, and none of them is close to the majority they need to get the Mayor's post. Majority or halfway of the 227-s...

First-time candidates beat seasoned politicians with promises of bringing change and more energy to BMC.

Spin doctors can take it easy. Look at it upar se or neeche se. Or look at it straight in the eye. There is only one conclusion after the results of Mumbai's civic body elections: it's an absolutely stunning and staggering saffron sweep.

Essentially, the BJP is the new Congress. And, in many words, terrible as this is for the Congress, it's not great news for the BJP either.

The results of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, or BMC election announced on Thursday threw up some surprises with a number of prominent names biting the dust, while quite a few candidates from political families made it to the country's richest civic body. Several relatives of established politicians made it to BMC, which went to polls on F...

Nagpur boy Devendra Fadnavis and his one-time political rival and union Minister Nitin Gadkari have managed to retain Maharashtra for the BJP.

Hyderabad lawmaker Asaduddin Owaisi's party AIMIM won three seats in the BMC polls in Mumbai today, getting a foot in India's richest civic body.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is emerging as the clear winner of the day as the BJP is narrowing Shiv Shena's lead in the Brihanmumbai Municial Corporation or BMC elections setting it up for a nail-biting finish. The BJP is now ahead in 81 of the 227 seats, marginally behind the Shiv Sena's 84 (till 5 pm), which has ruled the cash ri...

Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, spent much of Thursday at his home "Varsha" in Mumbai's Malabar Hill, getting minute by minute reports from the 23 counting centres for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC elections. By evening, when it was clear that his party, the BJP, would end no more than three seats behind the Shiv ...

The BMC or Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election is more than civic body polls for parties in India's financial capital. The Shiv Sena and the BJP, long-time allies, contested separately and fought bitterly against each other. Some 21,620 candidates contested the 5,777 seats up for grabs in the 10 municipal corporations including BMC, for whi...

The Congress today was unable to cut short its trend of losing important elections - it downsized its share considerably in the municipal corporation that runs Mumbai, accruing 31 seats (according to leads at 6 pm), down from 52. Sanjay Nirupam, the head of the party in Mumbai, offered to resign, accepting responsibility for the skimpy result.
