AAP’s defeat a shocker and setback for Shiv Sena (UBT) NCP (SP) in Maharashtra?

AAP’S ouster in Delhi by the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday has come as a shocker and setback for Shiv Sena (UBT)  NCP (SP) in Maharashtra.

These parties had aligned with AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal as part of their broader fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but the outcome in Delhi has further strengthened the BJP’s position both in the national capital and Maharashtra.

While AAP has never been a dominant force in Maharashtra, its alliance with Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar under the INDIA bloc gave hope to opposition leaders looking to challenge the BJP.

However, with Kejriwal’s party failing to retain power in Delhi after 12 years, the setback raises concerns for the opposition’s prospects in upcoming elections, including the crucial Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls.
