Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has clarified that the next Mayor of Mumbai will represent the Mahayuti alliance, hours after ally BJP demanded the Shiv Sena to follow a two-and-a-half-year power-sharing formula for the mayor’s position Thane Municipal Corporation.Speaking on the post-election scenario where no single party secured a clear majority, Shinde emphasised that the Shiv Sena-BJP-RPI alliance remains intact for the BMC and other municipal corporations like Thane and Kalyan-Dombivli.advertisementThe statement is being viewed by many as a significant softening of Shinde’s stand.The Shiv Sena won 75 wards in the Thane Municipal Corporation, reaffirming Thane as his undisputed stronghold. The BJP secured 28 seats, comfortably pushing the coalition past the majority mark of 66 required to control the civic body. In Mumbai, the BJP emerged as the single largest party with 89 seats, followed by Shinde Sena’s 29, with Mahayuti comfortably crossing past the majority mark of 114.Earlier, the BJP demanded that it be given a two-and-a-half-year tenure for the mayoral post, as the party played a significant role in the alliance’s victory by giving a strong performance in the elections.The saffron party had made its demand clear that if the Mahayuti alliance is to run the municipal corporation, then BJP should also be given a two-and-a-half-year tenure for the mayoral post.The BJP had maintained that equitable power-sharing within the alliance is only fair given their contribution to the coalition’s success.Shinde had asserted that the ‘mayor’s chair is firmly in Mahayuti’s grip’ and emphasised that the final decision will be made in consultation with the BJP.Sources had claimed that the narrative of the Shinde-led Sena being “adamant and unreasonable” was beginning to hurt the alliance’s public perception. By stepping back from hard bargaining tactics that nearly pushed the BJP to the edge, Shinde is attempting to repair the bond and signal that he is not the hurdle to a stable government.- EndsTune In in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
