NDTV
Full-page advertisements were carried across major newspapers in the state on Tuesday, citing a survey that showed Chief Minister Eknath Shinde ahead of his deputy Devendra Fadnavis in popularity.
A day after an advertisement with photos of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Prime Minister Narendra Modi became a talking point, an ad on the state's ruling alliance appeared in Marathi dailies on Wednesday featuring leaders like Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Full-page advertisements were carried across major newspapers in the state on Tuesday, citing a survey that showed Chief Minister Shinde ahead of his deputy Mr Fadnavis in popularity. It did not have the pictures of either Mr Fadnavis or Bal Thackeray.
The publicity material titled ‘Modi for India, Mr Shinde for Maharashtra' on Tuesday prompted the Opposition to claim that all was not well between the ruling BJP and Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
Like Tuesday's advertisement, the ad in Marathi newspapers also cites a survey to claim that 49.3 per cent of voters in Maharashtra support the BJP and Shiv Sena.
