BJP-Shinde Group vs Thackeray-MNS-NCP Alliance in Municipal Election Contest

As soon as the municipal elections were announced, there was significant movement in the state's politics. Many changed parties due to not receiving candidacy, while some old workers were displeased as new faces were given opportunities. During this period, the most entries were seen in the BJP. The election in Mumbai was contested between two fronts. On one side were the BJP and Shinde group, while on the other side, the Thackeray group, MNS, and NCP (Sharad Pawar group) entered the field together. Due to this alliance, many aspirants had to stay away from candidacy.

In these developments, Sahar Sheikh's name came forward. After not getting an opportunity from the NCP, she joined the MIM. In the Mumbra area, considered a strong constituency of Jitendra Awhad, Sahar Sheikh achieved an unexpected victory. A video of the statement made after the results became widely discussed.

However, a statement made thereafter caused controversy. Citing the potential for increased tension in society, the police have issued a notice to Sahar Sheikh and her father. A warning has also been given to speak responsibly in public and on social media. This issue has brought about a new controversy along with political success.
