‘Fadnavis Will Take Oath As Maha CM At Wankhede In 2024’: BJP Leader’s Big Claim As NCP Roots For Ajit Pawar

Mumbai: The ruling ally BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule has predicted that Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will be sworn-in as the next CM at the Wankhede Stadium in 2024.

Addressing a party workers’ meeting at Lakhni in Bhandara, he asked, “Who will be next CM of Maharashtra?” (after the Assembly elections), and the crowd roared ‘Fadnavis, Fadnavis’, cheering and clapping. Taking a swipe at Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, he said that “there is only one tiger in Maharashtra, and that is Fadnavis”. The meeting was held after the BJP bagged victory in three states – Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Bawankule’s Three Commitments To BJP Workers

At the gathering, Bawankule asked party activists to make three commitments for the next year. The first, to elect 45 MPs from Maharashtra to ensure Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third tenure. Second, working to ensure that Fadnavis is sworn-in as the CM of the ruling MahaYuti alliance. Third, to dedicatedly work for any official BJP candidate in the upcoming municipal corporation/council and other civic elections and ensure their victory with huge votes. He asked all BJP workers to spare three hours daily for the next 13 months to achieve the triple objectives.

NCP Claims Ajit Pawar To Be Next CM

Right after Bawankule’s claim, the spokesperson of Ajit Pawar-led NCP Amol Mitkari claimed that his party chief will become the CM in 2024. As the news spread, MLA Sanjay Shirsat of the Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena said that no one should throw a stone in the grand alliance or there will be no reconciliation between the three parties in the near future. In fact, Fadnavis has earlier batted for Shinde and said that there is no question regarding his not continuing as the CM.

Currently, under the leadership of Modi, the BJP is in a strong position across the country. Several senior BJP leaders have indicated their disagreement to run the government under Shinde’s leadership but have remained silent owing to the decision taken but the central leadership.

Attacking the opposition, he said that many opposition leaders were opposing the “Ladli Behna Yojana” but under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, this scheme was implemented and it will not be stopped under any circumstances. The opposition is only spreading confusion, Ladli Behna will respond with their votes. Dr. Shrikant Shinde explained that in the last three years, Shiv Sena has reached every corner of Maharashtra under the leadership of Eknath Shinde. Shinde Sahib is empowering his workers by holding eight meetings every day. He has an Urban Development Department, which has resulted in record-breaking funding for the backward villages of Maharashtra, paving the way for strong rural development.

Dr. Shrikant Shinde criticized UBT and said that some people are experts in criticizing, but they have never done any concrete work for the people. That is why today Mahayoti candidates are seen everywhere. The people are well aware of the state of the opposition.
