In a move to seek re-election, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has filed his nomination from Nagpur South-West. Addressing supporters, Fadnavis celebrated the Mahayuti government's accomplishments, citing projects like the Nagpur Metro Rail and the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway as transformative developments.
Fadnavis, who served as the state's chief minister previously, positioned the Mahayuti government's efforts, including the 'Ladki Bahin' scheme, as a counter to opposition parties. He dismissed their challenges, asserting that the scheme sufficiently showcases the government's commitment to progress. The scheme provides Rs 1,500 monthly to eligible women.
Maharashtra's leadership, according to Union minister Nitin Gadkari, has significantly modernized Nagpur with infrastructure worth over Rs 1 lakh crore. Fadnavis continues to advocate for a new era under Prime Minister Modi's vision, aiming to maintain BJP's influence in the region.
