The BJP has suspended 58 leaders from Mumbai and Nagpur for six years due to breaches of party discipline before the January 15 polls to 29 municipal corporations. The suspended include former mayors, corporators, and key workers accused of rebelling against official candidates and harming the party's image. In Mumbai, 26 leaders were suspended, such as Divya Dhole (Ward 60, Versova), Nehal Amar Shah (Ward 177, Matunga), and Janhavi Rane (Ward 205, Abhyudayanagar). Some suspended members, like Asawari Patil (Ward 2, Borivli), are currently contesting from other parties. Nagpur saw 32 suspensions, including Vinayak Dehankar, husband of former mayor Archana Dehankar, and ex-corporators Sunil Agrawal and Dheeraj Chavan. Nagpur BJP president Dayashankar Tiwari issued these orders. Poll results for the 29 municipal corporations will be announced on January 16. The campaign has been marked by strong conflicts, with major alliances Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi contesting separately or in new formations in several cities.
