BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister in Maharashtra, spearheading the saffron party's election campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly polls, said on Tuesday that Mahayuti led by BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP would come to power after the election.
The decision on whom the next chief minister will be shall be taken collectively also by the BJP's delegation that has been led here by the National President of the party along with being present also the Shiv Sena Chief Leader Eknath Shinde and NCP National President Ajit Pawar.
Presently, Shinde is Chief Minister and under his leadership the Mahayuti is fighting the Assembly elections.
As pointed out by Fadnavis, there is no competition among the Mahayuti partners over the Chief Minister's post.
We are receiving good support from many corners of Maharashtra. I mention this not with overconfident words but with the depth of my heart. The public is with us because of the development work we have done and the numerous schemes we have come out with in the last two-and-a-half years, he said.
"People have seen how the Maha Vikas Aghadi government worked and how our government worked in Maharashtra. So I feel that people are with us and they will vote for Mahayuti," said Fadnavis before beginning his statewide rallies from Tuesday.
Fadnavis, along with Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, along with other allies will on Tuesday jointly begin the election campaign of the Mahayuti from Kolhapur.
Fadnavis targeted the MVA comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP(SP) for its criticism over the ambitious Ladki Bahin Yojana saying that the Opposition declared the scheme would be shut up after the elections and some of them approached the court against it.
"However, it is of no use. If we are proposing a scheme in our budget, will we not finance it?" he asked and thereby countered the MVA's criticism about sustainability in the implementation of the Ladki Bahin Yojana and a slew of other such welfare and development schemes.
Blaming the MVA, Fadnavis claimed the Mahayuti government is falling in the contribution to the states' GDP. He further added that during the MVA government, the progress was hindered while, in the case of Mahayuti, the contribution to the state's GDP went up.
"The Opposition is trying to give a wrong message based on incomplete information," he alleged.
"Maharashtra continues to be on top among other states to attract investments as it attracts 52 per cent of total investments coming to India. The Opposition's charge of flight of investment to Gujarat is incorrect and far from reality. During the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, investors chose Gujarat and not during the Mahayuti's rule. After the Mahayuti government came back to power, the investment flow has shot up.". Instead of proving the facts, it is criticizing the Mahayuti government, he charged.
