Devendra Fadnavis, a senior BJP politician, expressed confidence on Friday that his party will return to power in Maharashtra with a full majority after the 2024 assembly elections, claiming that the state is "destined to see the change of power." Fadnavis said that "Modi magic" changed the much-hyped anti-incumbency into pro-incumbency in four states where the BJP kept power: Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa.
On his return to Maharashtra, the former Maharashtra chief minister, who was also the BJP's election in-charge for Goa, spoke to reporters at the Vidhan Bhavan, the State's Assembly Complex. "Maharashtra is about to experience a power shift. In 2024, the BJP will form its government with a solid majority "he stated
After splitting with the
BJP on the issue of sharing the Chief Minister's seat, the
Shiv Sena formed an improbable alliance with the
NCP and the
Congress to create the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government after the 2019 Maharashtra elections. "The election results in four states have once again demonstrated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the country's lone leader.
The state of Uttar Pradesh has a population of 25 million people, and for the first time in 37 years, a political party has kept power... Modi magic changed the much-hyped anti-incumbency into pro-incumbency, "he stated Fadnavis, when questioned about the BJP's next goal, replied, "Our current focus is the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). We aim to free the Municipal Government from the grip of corruption." The Shiv Sena presently controls the Mumbai Municipal Government.
