BMC mayoral race: Corralled Sena men will be freed only after group registration tomorrow; BJP demands Thane post

Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena corporators are staying in a hotel until their group is registered with the Konkan divisional commissioner on Wednesday to prevent poaching. While the Mahayuti alliance aims for a BMC mayor, BJP is demanding the mayor's post in Thane, a Shiv Sena stronghold. Discussions are ongoing to resolve these potential impasses.
