Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday urged the State Election Commission to cancel results in 68 civic wards where ruling Mahayuti nominees were declared winners unopposed, saying uncontested victories effectively rob “GenZ” and first-time voters of their voting right.

Sharing the stage with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray to unveil their joint manifesto for the upcoming Mumbai civic body polls, Uddhav warned that democracy must not be overrun by “mobocracy”.

The former chief minister launched a scathing attack on the Mahayuti government, saying that since his government was dislodged and Eknath Shinde helmed the state (in June 2022), the wealth of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is being splurged on contractors. He claimed that after vote-stealing, the ruling parties are now stealing candidates.
