The "brothers" narrative is a bit overplayed. What matters is concrete action. Mumbai's roads, public transport, and waste management need urgent attention. Let's see the work, not just the words.

Good to see a clear mandate. The split in Shiv Sena had created so much confusion. Now hopefully the administration can function without constant political drama. BMC has a huge budget, it must be used wisely for Mumbaikars.

As a long-time resident, I'm cautiously optimistic. The real test will be during the next monsoon. If they can prevent the annual flooding chaos, then I'll believe they are truly "protecting" Mumbai.

BJP as the single largest party is a significant shift. People seem to have voted for a change from the old Sena-dominated BMC. Hope this brings more transparency and less corruption in civic contracts.

While the win is decisive, calling them "brothers" feels like trying too hard to create a united front. Their parties were rivals not long ago. The alliance must work for the city, not just for political survival. The focus should be on affordable housing and better public health facilities.
