Nagpur: Deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday, speaking at the BJP’s Maharashtra executive meeting, asked the party workers to be prepared for making sacrifices. He also asked them to be ready for the success of the state government in next two and half years. 

’Our government is a 20-20 government (referring to the two and half years term but with lot of work to be done to meet the expectations of the people). Therefore, the party workers should not think of what they will get. Get rid of what I will get, people give you more. Th efficiency ends if party workers will think about what they will get,’’ he noted.

Fadnavis took a swipe at the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government and claimed that it was totally paralysed. ‘’However, our government (Shinde camp-BJP alliance) came to power in June and took a slew of decisions including the financial assistance to the farmers hit by the natural calamities. The opposition is targeting the government as they are scared by the government’s speed with which it is functioning,’’ he added.

Fadnavis pulled up the party officer bearers not making the effective use of social media. He gave example of few legislators for not being active on Facebook for a long period while some legislators’ seem Twitter handle is not active.

He also took a dig at the Thackeray led MVA government and asked why the Mumbai metro projects were not completed and why there were delays.


Meanwhile, BJP national secretary CT Ravi and state unit chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule, at the meeting, exhorted the party members to work hard for party’s success in 2024 elections.

‘’The upcoming 2024 election is a great struggle. For that, the party needs to work with proper planning in every district,’’ said Ravi.

Bawankule said that the party’s support has increased after the formation of Shinde-Fadnavis government. ‘’BJP should win over 50 of the total 67 assembly seats and maximum seats out of 10 Lok Sabha seats in Vidarbha.At the state level, the efforts should be made to get BJP 51% votes in the 2024 elections in Maharashtra,’’ he noted.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has demanded the establishment of a new police station in Shivaji Nagar constituency from Mumbai Police Commissioner Devin Bharti. He said that the old police station has been shifted to Mahada, which makes it very difficult to reach the police station from the SMS company area and it takes half an hour to an hour. In such a situation, a new police station should be established in Shivaji Nagar constituency. There has been an increase in drug abuse, crimes and other incidents in Shivaji Nagar and Govindi areas, along with an increase in the population here. It is necessary to establish a police station in proportion to the population, while the presence of police stations and personnel is not there in proportion to the population. He said that Police Commissioner Devin Bharti has said that after the recruitment of police, the police station will be established and manpower will be deployed in the police stations. Along with this, Abu Asim Azmi has also accused the local administration of irregularities in the distribution of funds along with the establishment of the police station. He said that now the corporation and The BMC election has not been held, there are Samajwadi Party corporators here but they are not being provided funds, but whoever joins the Shinde group is provided funds, this is complete injustice and therefore the funds should be distributed equally. He said that the government has no concern with the slum areas, the police presence will remain in Walkashore, Malabar Hill and Cuffe Parade, but there is no police presence in the slum areas and there is a shortage of them, that is why the bat chowki that we have built with our own funds in Govindi is also empty, there is no police personnel in it.
