BMC Elections Hinge On Mamu, Mamdani And Burkewali
This time the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections have focused on identity politics instead of basic facilities. Controversies like 'Mamu', 'Burkewali' and 'Mamdani' have heated it up further. Congress and Shiv Sena UBT are wooing Muslim voters, while BJP is trying to consolidate Hindu votes by cornering Shiv Sena UBT on these issues. Waris Pathan's statement, name 'Uddhav Mamu' and comparison with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani have increased religious polarization. Allegations of population change are also part of the debate.
