Mumbai: With the BJP well on its way to a thumping victory in the Maharashtra civic elections 2026, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was accorded a hero's welcomed at the BJP headquarters in Mumbai on Friday. Addressing party workers, he thanked them for the historic win of the BJP and the Mahayuti alliance in 25 municipal corporations, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation in (BMC).
He termed the victory a record-breaking mandate and said it was a clear message from the people that they want development and honesty. “I wholeheartedly thank the people of Maharashtra. Out of 29 municipal corporations, 25 have been won by the BJP or the Mahayuti alliance. The Mahayuti flag will also fly high over the BMC. We took the development agenda given by Prime the Minister Narendra Modi to the people, and they have supported it overwhelmingly,” Fadnavis said.
“This record-breaking mandate shows that people want development and honesty. I also thank Balasaheb Thackeray for his blessings,” he added.
Fadnavis further stated that his agenda would continue to be development.
“Our soul is Hindutva, and we are proud of it. Hindutva and development cannot be separated. Those who consider Hindutva a way of life have supported us. The government's agenda will continue to be development,” the Maharashtra CM added.
The Maharashtra chief minister also appealed to party workers to exercise restraint and behave responsibly.
“I request the party workers not to indulge in any kind of frenzy after the victory. The people have elected us to serve them, not to behave irresponsibly,” Fadnavis said.
