The Shiv Sena (UBT)-MNS alliance has unveiled a comprehensive manifesto, 'Vachan Nama, Shabd Thackerencha,' targeting Mumbai's electorate with promises of financial relief and infrastructure improvements. A key highlight is a monthly allowance for domestic helps, modeled after a state scheme, alongside promises of 100 units of free power.

Additionally, the alliance commits to affordable housing, with plans to construct one lakh houses in five years. Educational reforms include extending BMC-run schools to Class 12 and establishing creches across all assembly segments.
