Maharashtra Politics: bjp Faces Setback
Six bjp Leaders Resign
The bharatiya janata party (BJP) faced a significant blow ahead of local body elections in Maharashtra.
Six former councillors from ulhasnagar resigned from the party on Friday.
These leaders were considered some of the strongest and most influential faces of the bjp in the city.
Shift to shiv sena and TOK
After leaving the bjp, all six leaders joined the shiv sena and its local ally, Team Omi Kalani (TOK).
This shift is expected to strengthen Shiv Sena’s position in ulhasnagar ahead of upcoming elections.
The move also highlights growing dissatisfaction within the bjp ranks in key urban areas.

Timing After bihar Verdict
The resignations come shortly after the bihar assembly election verdict, which was seen as a setback for the bjp nationally.
Political analysts suggest that party morale in other states, including maharashtra, may be affected by such outcomes.
Impact on local Body Elections
Ulhasnagar is a crucial urban constituency with a significant number of seats in municipal elections.
Losing six senior leaders could weaken BJP’s electoral prospects in upcoming local body polls.
Shiv Sena and TOK are expected to capitalize on these defections to consolidate votes.
Political Implications
The resignations underscore internal challenges faced by the bjp in maintaining local leadership cohesion.
It also indicates shifting political allegiances in maharashtra ahead of critical municipal elections.
Observers believe these developments could reshape local political dynamics, especially in urban strongholds.
