Maharashtra CM Fadnavis Predicts Imminent Change in BMC at Dahi Handi Celebrations

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, in a subtle critique of the Shiv Sena (UBT), suggested that significant changes are on the horizon for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). He asserted that the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance had eliminated corruption within the civic body, proclaiming a shift towards development.

Amid the looming civic elections, Fadnavis participated in Dahi Handi festivities in Mumbai and Thane, underscoring the state's developmental progress. He expressed confidence in the Mahayuti government's role in advancing Mumbai's growth.

The celebrations also served as a platform for political posturing, with Dahi Handi dedicated to security personnel and a call for safe festivities. Fadnavis commended Deputy CM Eknath Shinde for embodying the spirit of the late Balasaheb Thackeray, reflecting the festival's intersection with upcoming local body polls.
