After the bumper victory of the Assembly, now Mahayuti’s next step is to make this masterplan for the civic elections.

News India Live, Digital Desk: The turmoil and then peace (or should we say victory celebration) seen in Maharashtra politics in recent times was no less than a thriller film. After registering a resounding victory in the assembly elections, now the ruling coalition in the state i.e. ‘Great Alliance’ (Mahayuti) has announced its next step. And believe me, this news is enough to give sleepless nights to the opposition i.e. Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

Simply put, the trio of Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar have decided that they will Civic Polls Will also fight together.

Let us understand in depth what is the meaning of this decision and what effect it will have on the government of your city or village.

Will not change the formula for success
It has often been seen that parties fight together in the Assembly or Lok Sabha, but when it comes to Municipal or Municipal Council, they separate due to local disputes. But ‘Mahayuti’ has made it clear that they will not make that mistake. The leaders believe that if the state can be won together, then why not the city?

It is reported that the leaders of the three major parties (BJP, Shiv Sena-Shinde faction and NCP-Ajit faction) have met and decided that the wisest thing to do is to remain united to prevent division of votes.

Eye on BMC and big cities
In Maharashtra, the elections of Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), called ‘mini assembly’ and big cities like Pune, Nagpur, have been stuck for a long time. These elections are very important because the real funds and the key to the development of the city lie here.

This decision of Mahayuti is a clear message that they are in a mood to wipe out the opposition from Mumbai and other cities. To avoid fights over seat sharing (who will contest in which ward), he has already prepared a plan to form coordination committees. That means this time the preparation is complete.

message to workers
The grassroots workers have got the most relief from this decision. Often workers remain confused whether to follow the coalition dharma at the local level or raise the flag of their party. Now the signal from above is clear – “Everyone has to fight the elections together.”

Challenge for the opposition (MVA)
This could be bad news for Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar and Congress. If Mahayuti’s votes are not divided, it will be very difficult for the opposition to win. This is a kind of “one and one eleven” strategy.
