In this episode of Pulse Maharashtra, we break down the major takeaways from the recently held municipal council and Nagar Panchayat elections across the state. The video explores how these polls unfolded after a long gap, why they were considered a crucial test for Maharashtra’s key political parties, and what the results reveal about shifting dynamics on the ground.

We look at the performance of the BJP, the challenges faced within the Mahayuti alliance, the impact of the Shiv Sena and NCP splits, and the emerging trends in regions like Vidarbha, Konkan, and the Mumbai Metropolitan area. The episode also highlights how different parties approached the campaign, the internal tensions that surfaced, and what these outcomes could signal as Maharashtra prepares for the upcoming municipal corporation elections, including the high‑stakes battle for Mumbai.
