The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) continued its winning streak this year by registering a stunning and thumping win in the Mira-Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC) elections on Monday. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) did not win a single seat. It had won 26 in the 2012 elections, while the Shiv Sena and Congress won 22 and 10 seats respectively. The BJP win has been a major setback for the Sena, which has been thrown out of the power it shared jointly with the former in this satellite city. The Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) failed to fight the elections with their full strength, and seemed to have accepted that it was a losing battle long before the elections were announced.
