National and state parties are contesting against each other here, and BMC opinion polls 2017 can give us a rough idea about people’s verdict. The fight will be tough this time, as there is no big alliance like BJP and Shiv Sena. In previous years, BJP+Shiv Sena alliance was emerging as winners of elections, as the alliance was very promising. The state party and national party has dissolved their alliance for 2017 BMC elections, they are contesting solo as a result.

Numerous fake BMC opinion polls were also shared in the past, confusing voters. These polls were initially shared online, with the prediction of Bhartiya Janata Party leading over other parties. However, real picture was revealed when people started finding the reality of these polls. The fake BMC opinion survey poll was shared under the name of Marathi news channel ABP Majha. The channel responded soon with official clarification that the polls are fake. Another poll was also shared which showed that MNS is leading in these elections. As per Maharashtra State Election commission’s orders, there is restriction on sharing opinion polls and exit polls until evening of 21 February. The restriction has taken effect from midnight of 14 February. So we can not expect any opinion poll before evening of voting date(21 Feb).
