BJP’s youngest corporator, 22-year-old Kashish Fulwariya, who was elected in the recently concluded BMC Election 2026, is currently pursuing an MBA while discharging her responsibilities as a corporator. 

While speaking to the media, Kashish expressed her determination to involve young people in politics and grassroots governance. She also thanked the party leadership for placing faith in her in the local body polls. 




She emphasised, “First of all, I want to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for giving me this opportunity. I have lived up to expectations, and the people have given me immense love and support. I am a little nervous, but also very excited.”

Speaking about balancing her studies and public responsibilities, Fulwariya said that keeping a perfect balance between the two is challenging but motivating. 

“I am currently pursuing an MBA, and people have a lot of expectations from me. I am committed to working hard and living up to their trust,” she added.

Kashish Fulwariya vows to improve drainage systems in her ward

Outlining her priorities, Fulwariya said she would focus on improving drainage systems and completing stalled civic works in her ward. She credited her parents, who have been active in politics for over two decades, as her guiding force.

“I regularly take advice from them, and they help me a lot," she said. 

Technology-integrated governance in BMC

The BJP Corporator also stressed on the importance of technology in governance.

“My focus will be on grassroots work and helping people use technology to access various government schemes,” she added.

Results from the 28 municipal corporations across Maharashtra, barring Mumbai, showed the BJP emerging as the most successful party across cities, winning clear majorities or finishing as the single largest party in several corporations.

The Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena retained control in a few key centers.

The Congress, the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party, AIMIM, and local parties managed to win in select pockets, reflecting a mixed but BJP-dominated verdict in urban Maharashtra.
