BJP Claims Mumbai Mayor: 100% Guarantee? Doubtful.
TLDR: BJP leader claims they'll snag the Mumbai mayoral seat after the 2026 BMC elections. Bold words, considering Mumbai's voters might have other ideas.
So, some BJP leader is strutting around saying they've got the Mumbai mayoral election in the bag for 2026. Like, 100% guaranteed. Did they ask Mumbai?
According to The Economic Times, this claim comes straight from the Maharashtra Assembly. No specific names are mentioned, so it's unclear who's making these pronouncements. Is this confidence, or just plain bluster?
Remember the 2022 BMC elections? Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) won the most seats (84), followed by BJP (82). Predicting a 100% victory seems ambitious, especially when the city's political mood can shift faster than traffic on the Sion-Panvel highway.
Maybe someone should remind them that Mumbai voters rarely hand out blank checks. It's a city of surprises. And a few potholes.
