MUMBAI: (Jan 17) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has emerged as a key strategist behind the BJP’s urban resurgence, steering the party to a landslide victory in the civic polls, proving that he can deliver a historic mandate with minimal involvement of the central leadership.
The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance has come to power in 25 of the 29 municipal corporations, including Mumbai, where elections were held on January 15. The saffron party alone is set to have mayors in nearly 17 municipal corporations, reflecting its expanding urban base.
The results mark Fadnavis’s major electoral success since his return as the chief minister in late 2024 and are being seen as an endorsement of his leadership.
