Mumbai To See A 'General' Category Woman Mayor

The outcome has sent political circles into a frenzy, particularly regarding the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), where the mayoral post has been reserved for a 'General Woman.' With the BJP emerging as the single largest party in the cash-rich body, the search for a female face to lead Mumbai has officially begun, with names like Tejasvee Ghosalkar already in the fray.

With the reservation status now set in stone, municipal commissioners are expected to issue notices for the official mayoral elections within the next two weeks. For the Mahayuti alliance, which holds a dominant position in a majority of these corporations, the challenge now lies in balancing internal party aspirations with the newly defined social categories. Meanwhile, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi is looking to capitalise on these specific reservations to field strong local candidates and challenge the ruling coalition's momentum in the final vote.
