The results of Maharashtra municipal corporation elections have set the mood for the 2029 elections, firmly pitching the BJP as the single largest and the strongest party in the State. Congress has emerged as the biggest Opposition party in rest of Maharashtra. But, in the rest of the State, Mr. Uddhav’s performance was dismal. While senior Pawar sits in the Opposition, Mr. Ajit is the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra and shares power with the BJP. His party became the fourth largest party among the six major parties by winning 158 seats.
