As counting continues for the 227 wards of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC expressed confidence that the Mahayuti alliance would emerge victorious in the Maharashtra civic body elections, news agency ANI reported.

Her statement comes amid exit poll projections that have predicted a win for the BJP–Shiv Sena alliance, placing the Thackeray brothers’ faction in second position, while the Congress and its allies are expected to deliver a relatively weak performance.
