While the BJP has the numbers, I hope the Mayor's selection is smooth and doesn't lead to internal friction within the alliance. Navi Mumbai's issues like waterlogging and traffic need urgent attention, not political maneuvering. 🤞

The vote share analysis is interesting. BJP is the single largest party, but the combined opposition (UBT+MNS+Congress) has a significant presence too. The Mayor will have to work with everyone for the city's benefit, not just the alliance.

As a resident, my only request is for better civic amenities. The political meetings are fine, but we need results on the ground. The new corporators should hold regular janata darbars to hear our problems.

Chavan ji is right to assert the alliance's claim. The mandate is clear. Now, please deliver on the promises – better roads, efficient waste management, and planned urban growth for Navi Mumbai. Jai Hind!

With respect, I have to offer a criticism. The article and the meeting focus on who gets the mayor's chair. I wish the emphasis was equally strong on *what* the mayor will do in the first 100 days. The development narrative needs concrete action plans, not just claims.
