BMC Polls 2026: Inside Mumbai’s Civic Giant Whose Budget Is Bigger Than Many Indian States Meanwhile, the much-anticipated reunion of estranged Thackeray cousins — Uddhav and Raj — after two decades appears unlikely to translate into significant electoral gains, with the Axis My India exit poll projecting just 63 seats for the alliance.
