MahaYuti unity faces ZP test

BJP, Shiv Sena cadres push solo bids after civic poll gains in Nashik

Following the expected success in municipal council and municipal corporation elections, the morale of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena workers has risen sharply.

With the opposition suffering major setbacks in the district, cadres of both parties are strongly pitching for contesting the upcoming Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti elections independently. District-level leaders also appear to share this view, with clear indications that instead of joining hands, both parties may choose to test their strength separately. Given the influence of the third MahaYuti partner, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), in rural areas, its stand is also expected to play a decisive role.
