Trends and results of Maharashtra Municipal Corporation elections have started emerging. The figures are complicated in BMC, but BJP has emerged as the largest party. It is too early to say who will take over the power of BMC. BJP has performed well in the remaining municipal corporations. Now the first reaction of Shiv Sena Thackeray faction leader and MP Sanjay Raut on the election results has come to light.
He has given a big statement regarding the post of Mayor of Mumbai, which has created a stir in the political circles. Sanjay Raut told that I have just come to know that Vaishali Patankar, Vishakha Raut and Yashwant Killedara are leading. Rohini Kamble lives from Bandra. Apart from this, Shiv Sena candidates are also leading from Bhandup and Vikhroli.
Meanwhile, speaking further, he said, what will you do with the figures shown in the morning, the confusion created by BJP by giving false figures? It is definitely a close contest, very close, but by the margin you are showing, MNS candidates are also winning. Two of their candidates have won in Bhandup, their candidates are leading in other places also. Sharad Pawar group may also get some seats. In this case, you are talking about a challenge, right. You have won some places outside Mumbai, congratulations for this, but the fight in Mumbai is different and bigger.
Raut said that we will fight this battle till our last breath and till the last moment. An attempt was made to challenge Thackeray, but this too has limits. You have undoubtedly won seats on the strength of power and money, but is the fight over yet? It will be midnight before the full results of Mumbai come out. We will talk after that, right now I am looking at this picture. This fight is going on on a large scale, anything can happen. Now the figures are changing rapidly. Shiv Sena has given 23 mayors to Mumbai, our efforts to get the 24th mayor will continue till the end.
