News Topical, Digital Desk : The results of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Election 2026 were announced on January 16. In these results, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved a historic victory, defeating Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT).
Following the BJP's historic victory in Maharashtra, actress and politician Kangana Ranaut congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis . However, amid the celebrations, Kangana Ranaut described the Shiv Sena (UBT)'s defeat as a "moment of justice" for her and took a sharp dig at Uddhav Thackeray. Read below for details of what Kangana Ranaut said:
Showing the right place to those who hate women
In an exclusive interview with news portal NDTV, Kangana Ranaut reacted to the Shiv Sena-UBT defeat, saying that today they have been evicted from the BMC. This is a huge victory for all of us. Kangana Ranaut recalled the time when, under the Shiv Sena-UBT regime, the BMC bulldozed her Bandra office, and the Bombay High Court called it “malice in law.”
Talking about that time, Kangana said, “Those who were saying abusive things to me about the demolition of my house, calling me by different names, threatening me to leave Maharashtra, today the people of Maharashtra have silenced them. I am thankful that the people of Maharashtra have shown their right place to those who hate women, bully them and the nepotism mafia.”
Congratulations to BJP on its success in Maharashtra
Mandi MP and BJP leader Kangana Ranaut praised the party workers and leadership for the victory in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections. The actress said, “I am extremely happy with the victory of the BJP in the BMC elections in Maharashtra. I congratulate our Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the entire BJP family for this incredible 'saffron victory.'”
It should be noted that on September 9, 2020, the BMC demolished Kangana Ranaut's office and portions of her bungalow in Pali Hill, Bandra, Mumbai. During the demolition, Kangana Ranaut had addressed Uddhav Thackeray, saying, "Today my house is broken, tomorrow your pride will be broken."
