The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday appointed Andheri (West) MLA Ameet Satam as president of its Mumbai unit ahead of crucial Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls.<\/p>\n

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanavis said that the BJP will reclaim power in the BMC under Satam\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Fadnavis said during the Maharashtra assembly polls last year, the party recorded a significant victory and asserted its dominance in Mumbai under the leadership of (outgoing) city unit chief Ashish Shelar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Shelar having taken on ministerial responsibilities in the cabinet, it was necessary to appoint a new president for the Mumbai unit. Following discussions at the state-level led by (Maharashtra BJP) president Ravindra Chavan and senior leaders, Ameet Satam has been chosen for the post,” he said.<\/p>\n

The CM further said that with the backing of senior leaders from Mumbai and the state, he expects the BJP to set new records in the city civic body polls.<\/p>\n

Addressing the press conference, Satam said he would give importance to\u00a0Mumbaikars\u2019 safety, especially in light of \u201cattempts to change the city\u2019s identity”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety and security of Mumbaikars is our top priority. While the city continues to develop, our focus will be on ensuring the well-being and protection of its citizens. We will work towards hoisting the Mahayuti\u2019s saffron flag atop the BMC and ensuring that a Mahayuti mayor is elected,” he added, as reported by The<\/em> Indian Express<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Satam also alleged that Rs 3 lakh crore of corruption has been committed in the BMC from 1997 to 2022. \u201cThe BJP will make every effort to free the civic body from the clutches of corruption and ensure transparency and accountability in civic administration,” he added.<\/p>\n

Who Is Ameet Satam?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Satam, 49, was elected to the Maharashtra assembly from Andheri West assembly constituency in Mumbai for three consecutive terms.<\/p>\n

Born on August 15, 1976, in Mumbai, Satam graduated from Mumbai University with a BA degree in Political Science and Sociology. He also holds an MMS (Personnel) from the Mahatma Gandhi Mission Institute in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

CM Fadnavis said Satam has been with the BJP for a long time and served in several important roles over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is recognised as both a learned and assertive legislator. Satam is familiar with the pressing issues of Mumbai and has demonstrated the knack required to tackle them,” the senior BJP leader said.<\/p>\n
