With tickets for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and other municipal corporation elections being announced, all political parties faced some rebellion from unhappy aspirants. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde handled the situation better than their rivals.

In contrast, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) led by Raj Thackeray struggled to pacify and keep their upset workers together.
