As the BJP-led Mahayuti has taken a lead in a majority of the 29 municipal corporations and the BJP–Shiv Sena alliance has crossed the halfway mark in the BMC in early leads, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, through phone calls, congratulated state unit chief Ravindra Chavan and Mumbai unit chief Ameet Satam over the party’s stellar performance.
CM Fadnavis praised Chavan’s leadership, stating: “Honourable Ravindra Chavan, many congratulations to you. Under your leadership, the party has achieved a remarkable victory across Maharashtra. It’s truly a spectacular win, and I want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart.”
Further, the Chief Minister also congratulated Satam: “Ameet, many congratulations! You’ve done a great job, and there’s no need to worry now. You’ve performed exceptionally well, and I’m very happy for you. Let’s hope for the best as we move forward.”
Bawankule hails Mahayuti performance
Revenue Minister and BJP’s in-charge for the 29 municipal corporation polls, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, congratulated the Chief Minister for the party’s success and also over the performance of the Mahayuti.
Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora, in his post on X, said: “In Mumbai, only two brothers… The darling brother and the god-brother!”
He thereby taunted that the reunion between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray and their alliance have failed miserably to work magic in the BMC elections.
In PMC and PCMC, Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar factions are testing their ground-level strength for the first time in a major civic poll since their split. But the BJP has outsmarted the alliance between the Pawar factions.
