Thackeray brothers need Marathi vote consolidation, sizable Muslim and Dalit votes to win BMC polls
MUMBAI: If Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray eye to win the Asias largest civic body (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) polls, the leaders have to repeat Shiv Sena (UBT)'s 2024 Lok Sabha performance. It will help them to win as many as 113 seats out of 227 in the BMC polls. However, Shiv Sena (UBT) had won the three seats out of six Lok Sabha seats while it lost one seat, by 34 votes in Mumbai. Congress's vote base -- Muslim and Dalit -- and Sharad Pawars supporters from the western Maharashtra region who stay in Mumbai, helped to secure several seats. MVA was successful in restrictingthe BJP and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shindes Shiv Sena to one seat each only in the financial capital. In the BMC polls scheduled on January 15 of next year, Congress has refused to be part of the Thackeray brother alliance, over differences in decent space and number of seats. Also, Raj Thackeray's stand against North India is considered problematic for Congresss North Indian voters. Thackerays have joined hands after 20 years, but many challenges loom on the road to the BMC However, the silver lining for Uddhav Thackeray is, Raj Thackeray-led MNS has a seven per cent vote share in Mumbai, which will help them both to fill the gap caused by Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Congress, but that is not enough at all, as there is still a gap of six per cent. Thackerays has to go an extra mile by addressing as many rallies as possible, galvanising the ground network and utilising funds. Only then ther is a possiblity, that they will be able to swing the verdict in their favour. Despite Thackeray's alliance, the BJP is unfazed and is comfortable on the ground as it has 27 per cent vote share in Mumbai, and even DCM Eknath Shinde will pull in at least five per cent vote share. Most likely, the BJP and Shiv Sena will march towards a historic win in this closely contested BMC election. Shinde led Shiv Sena has won the six state assembly seats in Mumbai, while BJP had won 15, and DCM Ajit Pawar led NCP has won one seat; therefore, arithmetically, BJP and Shiv Sena are unperturbed. The split in Maha Vikas Aghadi has boosted the confidence of the BJP and its Gujarati, Marwari and North Indian vote bank in Mumbai remains unaffected. However, the opposition are getting divided into multiple forces. Meanwhile, if Muslim and Dalit votes get divided among the Thackerays, Congress, NCP SP, Samajwadi Party, MIM, then it will be difficult to repeat the Lok Sabhas template again in BMC polls. Congress, VBA seal alliance for BMC polls Uddhav Thackeray banks on his work during Covid-19, urges people to vote for Sena (UBT) in BMC election
MUMBAI: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has decided to bank on the Covid-19 period work during his tenure and unfold his party campaign around it for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election scheduled for January 15, 2026. The Shiv Sena (UBT) president released a 40-page booklet, named Mumbai Model, that highlights the then government's effort to contain the spread of Covid-19 in Dharavi, Asias largest slum, located in Mumbai. The Mumbai Model has mentioned the detailed work carried out by the BMC and the Maharashtra government during the pandemic. Thackeray also said that his decision to appoint Iqbal Chahal as commissioner of BMC was a game-changer as he had full authority to make decisions to contain the spread of thevirus. Chahal's book references were also given in this booklet. Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray cemented the alliance for the BMC elections, where the Shiv Sena (UBT) is likely to contest 150 seats, while Raj Thackeray-led MNS will contest 77 seats in Mumbai for the BMC polls. According to the booklet, Uddhav Thackeray has worked as a next-doorfamily member who sincerely put in all effort to save as many lives and contain Covid-19 from spreading in Mumbai and Maharashtra. It also has the anecdotes of prominent and renowned people, including senior journalist Kumar Ketkar, common citizens, and businessmen appreciating the work of the erstwhile government under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray. The Mumbai Model also mentioned that when everyone was afraid to come out of their houses, Uddhav Thackeray led the state by starting several Covid-19 treatment camps across the state, where apart from medical treatment, food and other facilities were provided free of cost. Besides, Thackeray also connected with each citizen of Maharashtra through his Facebook live and became a member of thousands of families. Thackeray also opened a war room, a dashboard to monitor the patients' treatments, occupancy, and availability of the beds in respective hospitals. He also ensured no patient should suffer due to the non-supply of oxygen, medicine, etc. The work during the pandemic was carried out as a mission under the banner of My Family My responsibility. The booklet also said that without any delay, erstwhile CM Uddhav Thackeray formed the health task force, where health experts were appointed as members to advise the chief minister with real-time information. The purpose of this task force was to save as many lives as possible and give confidence to the people who were in panic in a pandemic situation. The booklet has several photographs aimed at reminding people of Thackeray's work for BMC, urging them to cast their vote for his party in the upcoming election, which is seen as a close contest against the BJP and Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.

Congress, VBA seal alliance for BMC polls
MUMBAI: The Congress party and Dalit leader Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) on Sunday cemented the alliance for Brihanmumbai Municipal corporation (BMC) elections in Mumbai. According to the alliance agreement, out of total 227 seats of BMC, the VBA will contest the 62 Seats while remaining 165 seats will be contested by the Congress party. The alliance between Congress and VBA was agreed in the presence of Maharashtra Congress President Harshvardhan Sapkal and VBA State Vice President Dr Dhairyavardhan Pundkar. Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal called this alliance as a new Chapter in state politics. Sapkal said Congress and the VBA had agreed to an alliance for the BMC, while decisions on the remaining 28 municipal corporations in the state would be taken at the local level. He said the announcement, made on the Congress partys foundation day, was significant for the alliance. The alliance between the Congress and the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi is a natural one. Both parties share the same ideological foundation. Both are committed to constitutional values and to building an India envisioned by the Constitution. Their stance on equality, fraternity, and social justice is identical, and neither party is willing to compromise on constitutional principles, he added. He further said that both the parties allied in 1998 and 1999 elections. Now, after 25 years, we have come together once again. While the process took some time, a new chapter begins from today, Sapkal added. This is not a game of numbers, but a meeting of ideas. Meanwhile, Pundkar said that both parties have come together to stop the divisive and destructive politics of the BJP. He noted that Harshvardhan Sapkal took the first step towards the alliance and maintained a positive approach from the very beginning. Pundkar also said that the party will contest 62 seats in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. VBA Vice President Siddharth Mokale said that discussions on seat-sharing in any alliance are rarely fully satisfactory, but a consensus must be reached at some point. He stated that positive discussions took place from both sides for the alliance. While the alliance for the Mumbai Municipal Corporation has been announced today, decisions regarding other municipal corporations will be taken positively by the local leadership of both parties, Mokale said.

4th T20I: Fifties From Smriti, Shafali Take India To 30-run Win Over Spirited Sri Lanka (ld)
Sri Lanka Women: Openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma struck fluent half-centuries to set up Indias record total of 221/2 before the bowlers held off a spirited Sri Lankan chase to clinch a 30-run victory in the fourth womens T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium on Sunday. Asked to bat first for the first time in the series, Smriti and Shafali shared a blistering 162-run opening stand, Indias highest ever partnership for the first wicket in T20Is. It was an absolute treat for the enthusiastic fans as India posted their highest-ever score in the shortest format. Shafali continued her rich vein of form by hitting 79 off 46 deliveries - her third consecutive half-century laced with 12 fours and a six. Smriti, on the other hand, took her time to get going before matching her partner stroke for stroke in a knock of 80 off 48 balls, hitting 11 fours and three sixes. Though both fell in successive overs, Richa Ghosh applied finishing touches with an unbeaten 40 off just 16 balls. Her late assault, coupled with Harmanpreet Kaurs 16 not out off 10 balls, ensured India closed with a flourish by adding 63 runs in the last five overs. Chasing 222, Sri Lanka mounted a spirited effort by racing to fifty in just 3.3 overs, and captain Chamari Athapaththu top-scoring with 52, as all batters came out with an intention to hit boundaries. Yet they could not overhaul Indias record score, as Sri Lanka ended up at 191/6, which is now their highest total posted in womens T20Is. India were tested for the first time in the series, as their bowlers grappled with a wet ball and the fielding unit looked below par. Vaishnavi Sharma stood out with her figures of 2-24 in her four overs, while Arundhati Reddy took 2-42. The rest of the attack found it hard to contain Sri Lankan batters, but the cushion of a record batting effort proved to be decisive as India held firm to extend their unbeaten run in the series. India raced to 61/0 at the end of the powerplay, with boundaries flowing freely from the bats of Smriti and Shafali as every over in the opening phase yielded at least two fours. The Sri Lankan bowlers found no respite as captain Chamari cycled through her options without success. Smriti reached a significant milestone during her innings, becoming just the fourth woman and second Indian after Mithali Raj to reach 10,000 international runs. She brought up her fifty off 36 balls alongside Shafali, who got her half-century in 30 balls. After a brief slowdown during overs 7-9, where India managed just 14 runs, Shafali and Smriti exploded by plundering 74 runs in the next five overs. The acceleration was remarkable: the first 50 runs came in 32 balls, the next 50 in 33 balls, but the final 50 required just 21 deliveries. Nimasha broke through in the 16th over by dismissing Shafali caught and bowled, before Smriti followed soon after, falling to Malsha when her top edge was caught by backward square leg. Richa then unleashed carnage in the death overs, smashing an unbeaten quick-fire knock that included a brutal assault on Kavisha Dilhari in the 19th over smashing three sixes and a four in four consecutive balls. She and Harmanpreet added an unbroken 50-run partnership in just 24 balls to propel India past their previous best of 217/4, set against the West Indies in Navi Mumbai last year. In the chase, Sri Lanka made their intentions clear from the first ball, with Hasini Perera smashing three boundaries in the opening over off Renuka Singh Thakur. Arundhati Reddy, brought into the side for this match in place of a rested Kranti Gaud, endured a torrid start to her spell. Her first two legal deliveries disappeared to the fence, with the second coming off a no-ball and free hit that yielded 10 runs, as the second over went for 15 runs. India's attempt to stem the flow by introducing spin backfired as Deepti Sharma's first over leaked 13 runs, as Sri Lanka rocketed to 43/0. The opening pair of Hasini and Chamari Athapaththu continued their onslaught through the powerplay, bringing up Sri Lankas fifty in the fourth over. India's breakthrough came in the sixth over when Arundhati dismissed the dangerous Perera for 33 off 20 balls. The opener attempted to clear long-off, but the bat turned in her hand, and Harmanpreet Kaur completed the catch at mid-off. It briefly stalled Sri Lanka's momentum as boundaries dried up. However, captain Chamari and Imesha Dulani steadied the innings through smart strike rotation, keeping the scoreboard ticking. At the 10-over mark, Sri Lanka stood at 95/1, six runs ahead of India's position at the same stage. A moment of fortune came for Imesha when Vaishnavi Sharma beat her in flight and almost had her stumped if wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh hadnt missed it, but the delivery was ruled a no-ball. Chamari reached her fifty off just 31 balls, but just as she appeared set for playing a match-winning knock, she departed for 52 off 37 balls holing out in the deep off Vaishnavi Sharma. Though Deepti misjudged the delivery and dropped a chance of Harshitha Samarawickrama, it didnt cost much as Imesha was run out by a good throw from Amanjot Kaur. In the next over, Harshitha was beaten in flight by Vaishnavi, and this time, Richa held on to complete the stumping. The fielding errors continued when Richa missed a stumping, while Smriti dropped a catch at long-on to give Nilashika Silva and Kavisha Dilhari reprieves. But Kavisha fell for 13 off Arundhati, with substitute fielder G Kamalini finally taking the catch after three failed attempts. Though Deepti dropped another catch, this time of Rashmika Sewwandi, she was castled by a slower full toss from Sree Charani, as India got the game in their favour yet again. Though Deepti misjudged the delivery and dropped a chance of Harshitha Samarawickrama, it didnt cost much as Imesha was run out by a good throw from Amanjot Kaur. In the next over, Harshitha was beaten in flight by Vaishnavi, and this time, Richa held on to complete the stumping.
