In a big message to leaders and spokespersons of Mahayuti, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday asked them not to speak against each other.
Fadnavis made the remark while addressing leaders and functionaries of BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) and NCP (Ajit Pawar) at Shanmukhanand hall in Mumbai while informing them about government schemes and implementation.
Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar also addressed the gathering and said that public should be aware of the Opposition’s fake narrative.
The remark comes as both Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi, comprising of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) are gearing-up for state assembly elections likely to be held in October.
“I want to request our leaders and spokesperson (of Mahayuti), don’t speak against each other, respect everyone and don’t create any confusion,” reported ANI quoting Fadnavis.
Further reiterating that they are in ‘Yuti’ (alliance), Fadnavis added, “If you have any problem, talk with Eknath Shinde, Ajit Pawar and me. We have to compromise something in alliance.”
The BJP leader said that the Opposition is ready to make compromises among them so we also have to walk together. “If you don’t like something, don’t make it an issue…”
What Devendra Fadnavi said
— After the recently held Lok Sabha polls, Maha Vikas Aghadi says they have massively won. It is true they have got more seats. But if you look at votes, they have got only 2 lakh more votes than us because of which they won 30 seats.
— If we are determined, we can get 25 lakh votes more than them (in assembly elections). If we even get 20 lakh more votes than them, we can win 200 seats, and we have that potential.
— Even if we have lost technically in Lok Sabha polls, we are now fully prepared.
— They (opposition) were lying everyday, but we neglected it.
— Our fight was not with those three parties, but with the fake narrative.
— You can win one election using falsehood, but not all the time
— If we take our schemes to the people, no one can defeat us.
— We have to inform about our positive work everyday. The memory of the public is short, so you should inform them regularly.
What Ajit Pawar said
Maharashtra Deputy CM and NCP leader Ajit Pawar accused the opposition of spreading fake narratives in the name of the Constitution at the time of elections.
– Development work has been done for the people of Maharashtra. The government takes decisions for the betterment of the state. The public should be aware of the Opposition’s fake narrative.
