Maharashtra civic polls: Young voters left confused over new alliances in Mumbai

Payal Dongre and Rahul Khernar, both residents of Borivali, expressed confusion over the multiple alliances vying for power, citing concerns about party integrity and lack of clear policy direction. The 2017 BMC polls saw a shift in dominance with the BJP gaining significant ground, leading to a four-cornered battle in ward 9 and a fight for control in ward 21. Voters are seeking an "educated Mayor" who can implement effective policies.
