The NCP, the Congress and the Shiv Sena are part of Maharashtra's ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi, but they are contesting some seats independently
Election results for 106 urban local bodies - nagar panchayats, or government bodies for areas with a small population - in Maharashtra are being declared today.
Overall trends indicate Sharad Pawar's NCP will form the panchayat in 24 areas, with the BJP in 22, the Congress in 18 and the Shiv Sena in 14.
The NCP (Nationalist Congress Party), the Congress and the Shiv Sena are part of Maharashtra's ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi.
They are contesting jointly in some areas and independently in others, but combined they look set to defeat the BJP by a huge margin - winning control of over half of the nagar panchayats.
