In a sharp critique of Congress' electoral strategies, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis labeled the party's forthcoming 'guarantee card' initiative as doomed to fail. Drawing parallels to unsuccessful attempts in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, Fadnavis dismissed its effectiveness as a viable tool in Maharashtra's political landscape.
Fadnavis also addressed alliance challenges, stating that issues within the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP coalition, concerning rebel candidates, were resolved. Discussions facilitated agreements ahead of the crucial withdrawal deadline of November 4. Preparations for their campaign are set to commence energetically on November 5, with elections slated for November 20.
The Deputy Chief Minister further clarified BJP's stance regarding Nawab Malik, a controversial NCP leader, emphasizing that the BJP would support its allied Shiv Sena candidate against him. This scenario highlights the intricate dynamics within the 'Mahayuti' alliance, especially in constituencies facing internal rivalry.
