Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis made a clear and assertive statement regarding the unity of his alliance and its plans for the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections at the CNN-News18 Townhall<\/a> in Mumbai on Wednesday. His remarks were aimed at dispelling rumours of any internal divisions within the Mahayuti, the ruling coalition comprising the BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, apart from Ajit Pawar\u2019s NCP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no division in our alliance,” Fadnavis explicitly stated. This was a direct counter to the ongoing political speculation about a rift between the BJP and Shiv Sena, particularly following recent events and media reports of an alleged \u201ccold war” between him and deputy CM Eknath Shinde.<\/p>\n

Fadnavis sought to project a united front to both the electorate and the opposition. \u201cEknath Shinde and I are on the same page,” he said, in a bid to reinforce their shared vision and decision-making process.<\/p>\n

The chief minister\u2019s comments were made in the context of the much-anticipated BMC elections, a crucial battle for political dominance in Mumbai. Controlling the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, India\u2019s richest civic body, is a prestige issue for all major parties.<\/p>\n

Fadnavis declared that the alliance \u201cwill together fight BMC elections”, confirming that the BJP and the Shinde-led Shiv Sena will present a unified front against their rivals, primarily the Maha Vikas Aghadi, comprising the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP).<\/p>\n
