Solapur Local Body Election 2025 Results Live Updates: BJP wins Ungar Nagar Panchayat without a fight

“The people of Maharashtra have given BJP a thumping majority. In the municipal corporation elections, the BJP has won 125 to 130 bodies on its own, and the Mahayuti has won more than 215 out of 288 bodies. This shows that the people of Maharashtra are completely impressed with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a developed India and the roadmap for Maharashtra,” said BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla.

“Together, all three alliance parties account for 75% of the city council chairpersons. In terms of corporators, the BJP has created a record: 3300 corporators have been elected… This result is even better than 2017, and such a victory has not been seen in Maharashtra in the last 30–35 years…” said Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

“I congratulate our allies Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, whose parties have also performed very well. Our performance has matched that of the Assembly elections. I also congratulate Ravindra Chavan, under whose leadership these elections were successfully conducted. Former president Bawankule, cabinet colleagues, and party workers — all have worked extremely hard. The coordination between the organisation and the party was excellent, and that is why we achieved this victory,” he added.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis thanked the people of the state on Sunday evening as the Mahayuti edged towards a sweeping win.

“I had already predicted that out of all the municipal council chairpersons elected, 75% would be from the Mahayuti, and the people have delivered exactly that verdict. It has also become clear that BJP is the number one party. So far, around 129 municipal council chairpersons have been elected from the BJP. Together, all three alliance parties account for 75% of the city council chairpersons,” he said.

Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Sunday said the “overwhelming success” of the BJP in the Maharashtra local body polls was a “victory of the (party) workers”. He also hailed BJP state chief Ravindra Chavan and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

“Yours, ours, BJP belongs to everyone and this is a victory of the workers…Thank you to the people who supported the BJP by maintaining faith in its development-oriented working style,” Gadkari wrote on X.

Maharashtra BJP leader Keshav Upadhye claimed on Sunday that the BJP had taken an early lead in most areas. The state election commission is yet to announce the official results of the polls to the posts of president and members in 286 municipal councils and nagar panchayats in Maharashtra.

He said the BJP was ahead in 19 out of 60 seats in western Maharashtra, while the Shiv Sena was ahead in 14 and the NCP in 12. The Congress was leading in three seats, the Sena (UBT) in one, the Pawar-led NCP faction in four, and others in seven seats.

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde claimed the Mahayuti had crossed the 200-mark in polls to 286 local bodies. He reiterated that “BJP had scored a century” while Shiv Sena notched a “half century” and emerged as the second-largest party in the state.

“Results show the public’s preference for development over politics. The grand victory of the Mahayuti in the elections is an indication that the Mahayuti will repeat the same in the forthcoming municipal corporation elections,” he said at a press conference.

“Konkan is the bastion of the Shiv Sena. It is not confined to Mumbai and Thane but has reached each and every household in the state. Even in areas where the party faced losses, the collective victory of the Mahayuti remained the priority,” he added.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve told PTI that the BJP’s win in the local body election in Maharashtra is because of “power, money and corruption”.

“This is a victory of power, money, and corruption. The way these three parties (Mahayuti) lured voters and attempted to distribute money has even come to light in the media. This victory is because of that,” he said.

BJP is set to become the single-largest party in the Mahayuti alliance as the early trends show it dominating the election scene.

BJP leader Praveen Darekar is also confident about it, saying that the party will win “more than 50 pc seats”.

He added that Shiv Sena and NCP will follow.
