The Shiv Sena is celebrating as it leads in 90 seats in elections to Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC. At number 2, the BJP is ahead in 54 seats now, far crossing its previous best of 31. The Congress, NCP and Raj Thackeray's party MNS have, not unexpectedly, been crushed. Votes are also being counted in nine other major municipalities in Maharashtra. The Shiv Sena has controlled the BMC for the last 20 years, contesting along with ally BJP. This time they contested separately after the Sena called off the partnership ahead of the elections.
