In the lead-up to the Maharashtra Assembly election, Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis has targeted the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), stating that the ruling Mahayuti does not need to announce a candidate for the chief ministerial position, as Eknath Shinde is the incumbent Chief Minister. During a press conference on Wednesday, Fadnavis confidently asserted that the Mahayuti alliance doesn’t need to announce a CM face because their chief minister is already in place. He even challenged Sharad Pawar to announce their candidate for the CM post, highlighting the alliance’s strong stance.
Fadnavis also criticized the opposition, stating that the MVA is hesitant to announce a CM face because they lack confidence in their candidate’s ability to win after the elections. He further pointed out the flaws in the previous MVA government, questioning their credibility on issues like law and order and women’s safety.
During the press conference, CM Eknath Shinde presented the alliance’s performance card for the past two years, emphasizing the significant progress and achievements made by the Mahayuti government. He highlighted the introduction of new schemes and benefits in their manifesto, reassuring the public that all promises made by the alliance would have full financial backing.
The upcoming Maharashtra Assembly election, scheduled for 20 November, has sparked political activity and anticipation among various parties. The Election Commission’s announcement of the election schedule has set the stage for a competitive and unprecedented electoral battle. With key dates approaching, including the last date for nominations and the polling day, political parties are gearing up for a rigorous campaign season.
The Mahayuti alliance, comprising the Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress, is confident in their success in the upcoming election. They believe that the positive outcomes of their welfare schemes and development initiatives will be reflected in the poll results. Addressing concerns about the integrity of the electoral process, Shinde expressed strong confidence in the Election Commission and the effectiveness of electronic voting machines, dismissing opposition claims of flaws in the system.
As the election date draws near, the political landscape in Maharashtra is heating up, with alliances and parties vying for support and voter confidence. The Mahayuti alliance’s firm stance on their leadership and performance highlights their commitment to governance and development in the state. With the election outcome set to shape the future of Maharashtra, all eyes are on the upcoming polls and the results that will follow.
