The Supreme Court on Tuesday (September 16) gave a big verdict regarding the Maharashtra local body elections. Orders have been ordered to complete the election process by 31 January 2026. On the other hand, political parties have also started preparations. Mahayuti in Maharashtra will unite and contest elections, while the decision of Mahavikas Aghadi has not been decided yet. However, the Mumbai Municipal Corporation should remain in its possession, with this thinking, the combination of Thackeray brothers is also in discussion.
On the other hand, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said in clear terms that this time the saffron of Mahayuti will be waved on the Mumbai Municipal Corporation and the Mayor will also be of Mahayuti. Also, Devendra Fadnavis has directly challenged the Shiv Sena Thackeray faction. The special thing is that on this occasion, CM Fadnavis also sang a song dedicated to Uddhav Thackeray, remembering a political context.
In view of the upcoming elections, BJP’s victorious resolution was held in Mumbai. During this, Fadnavis said – “Mumbai BJP President Amit Satham has attacked like a BrahMos missile, now no one can stop us. We had missed a little in the last general elections, only two corporators were less. We know what we should do if there is a shortage.” He indicated that BJP has already started making strategies for the post of Mayor.
CM Devendra Fadnavis sang a song for Uddhav Thackeray
Devendra Fadnavis reminded that the last time Uddhav Thackeray wished that the mayor should be his. Then we did not delay at all, called everyone and said that the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Standing Committee Chairman take all of you, we will not work as the opposition but if you make a mistake then we will keep curb.
He further said, “… But the election of 2019 came and then I had to sing -” Good Sila Diya Tune Mere Pyaar Ka, Yaar looted the house of man. ” Through this song, CM Fadnavis alleged that Uddhav Thackeray did not appreciate ‘Upkar’.
‘You are not a brand’ – Devendra Fadnavis
CM Fadnavis said- “We are going to fight, not those who are crying. In 2022, we showed Ganimi Kava and brought an absolute majority government in 2024. Whether anyone comes together or not, the flag of Mahayuti will be waved in Mumbai and the mayor will also be of Mahayuti.”
He further said – “There was an election of ordinary best, then why did you fight in the name of the party? So we say – our brand is. Our Shashank Rao and Prasad Lad Darekar showed. Hey, Shiv Senapramukh Bala Saheb Thackeray is a brand, you are not a brand.” In this way, CM Fadnavis once again attacked the Thackeray faction.
