The results of the 2026 BMC elections will be in today. Winners celebrate with responsibility and respect. We want to see that celebrations are not about hurting people with your revelry but thanking the electorate.

Thanking the electorate does not mean posing for photos with people. It is simple: the thanks should come in the form of work. Start working for the people from Day 1. So many citizen manifestos had called for on-ground change — roads, water, greenery, garbage, the environment the challenges had a similar refrain. For the winners, it is time to Dial D for Deliver. Address the problems you promised you would in your pre-poll campaigning and start responding to the people.
