The BJP has consolidated its influence in the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) with nine of the 16 members of the standing committee elected unopposed on Monday. The committee, which oversees major expenditures and approvals, now has a clear BJP majority, giving the party strong control over the city’s administrative decisions.

Alongside the BJP, the standing committee includes four members from the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, two from Shiv Sena (UBT), and one from the NCP.
