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.

The BMC or Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election is more than civic body polls for parties in India's financial capital.

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.

The Shiv Sena's lead in the Mumbai civic polls has narrowed now and the BJP is a close number 2.

At about 4.30 pm, the BJP was leading in 81 seats, just thr...

The BJP is also set to win eight out of the nine other major Maharashtra municipalities where elections were held this week...
