Maharashtra Deputy CM confident of Mahayuti alliance clean sweep in east Vidarbha region in Lok Sabha polls.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the Mahayuti alliance is confident of a clean sweep in east Vidarbha region going to polls in the first phase on April 19.
He claimed people will vote for the saffron alliance on account of the work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last 10 years.
“BJP is seeing a favourable mood in the constituencies in east Vidarbha going to polls in the first phase. In Nagpur, a very strong candidate like Nitin ji (Union Minister Nitin Gadkari) is contesting again,” Mr. Fadnavis told reporters at Nagpur airport when asked if BJP and Congress will be locked in a straight fight.
He said the Mahayuti comprising BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP led by Ajit Pawar will do a clean sweep in the first phase.
The BJP has reached out to the last man at the booth level in the last four to five years, Mr. Fadnavis said.
He said a decision on the Lok Sabha seat to be allocated to RSP leader Mahadev Jankar will be announced after holding discussions. “We have decided to give him one seat,” he added.
Maharashtra, which sends 48 members to Lok Sabha, will vote in five phases starting April 19.
