A day after reports of 68 unopposed wins for the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra's municipal polls, the State Election Commission has sought reports from officials to rule out coercion or intimidation behind nomination withdrawals. Opposition leaders allege misuse of money and threats.
The Supreme Court is set to hear a petition on the 'mass rejection' of nominations ahead of the BMC elections on January 15, 2026, in Maharashtra. Raj Thackeray has accused the Mahayuti alliance of bribing voters and candidates. The State Election Commission has barred the release of the Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin scheme instalment due to the model code of conduct.
