MUMBAI, FEB. 11. The Shiv Sena-BJP alliance appeared set to retain power in the prestigious Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Thane civic body and made inroads into the Congress strongholds of Solapur and Nasik.

The Congress, which seems to be losing ground in Solapur and Nasik, has, however, put up a stiff resistance to the BJP in Nagpur.

The BJP and the Shiv Sena surged ahead bagging 51 and 43 seats respectively across the State, while the Congress won only 48 seats closely followed by the NCP in 46 seats.

The Shiv Sena had bagged 44 seats and the BJP eight while the Congress managed 28 and the NCP five in the BMC when results last came in.
