Maharashtra Civic Body Poll Results: Bharatiya Janata Party-led Mahayuti on Friday created history after registering a landslide victory in 25 of the 29 municipal corporations, including high-stakes Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai.

The saffron party managed to end the nearly three-decade-old dominance of the Shiv Sena, dislodging Uddhav Thackeray's faction from the India's richest civic body. The BJP emerged as the single largest party in the BMC elections, and also triumphed in Pune, where it made mincemeat of the alliance of NCP factions led by Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar.
