BJP's Kirit Somaiya was leading by around 25,000 votes over his nearest Nationalist Congress Party rival Sanjay Patil and Aam Aadmi Party's Medha Patkar in Mumbai North-East.
In Mumbai South-Central, Congress's Eknath Gaikwad was trailing by over 40,000 votes against his Shiv Sena rival Rahul Shewale.
The country's commercial capital and the stock markets gave a thumbs up to the BJP-SS alliance and totally rejected the Congress-NCP alliance.
In the 2009 elections, the situation had been exactly the opposite with the Congress-NCP bagging all the six seats.
