Maha: BJP MLAs Gather Tomorrow to Select Group Leader with Observers Present

Mumbai, Dec 3 (NationPress) BJP legislators from various parts of Maharashtra are converging in Mumbai to participate in a pivotal meeting aimed at electing the legislature party group leader set for Wednesday.

This meeting marks a notable occasion as MLAs, including newcomers and seasoned members, are visiting the BJP headquarters located near Mantralaya in south Mumbai to familiarize themselves with the proceedings of tomorrow's gathering. The meeting is being held against a backdrop of growing calls for Devendra Fadnavis to assume the role of the next chief minister.

The party has appointed Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani as observers for the meeting, who will report on the election of the legislature party group leader.

BJP legislator Amit Satam stated, "It is the wish of the legislators that Devendra Fadnavis, who has been instrumental in the BJP's impressive performance and a key player in the MahaYuti coalition's significant victory, should be the chief minister. The legislators are anticipated to select him as the legislature party group leader in tomorrow's meeting."

Another first-time legislator from the cooperative-rich region of western Maharashtra emphasized that Devendra Fadnavis has diligently worked to boost the BJP's numbers and vote share. "We want him to take on the role of Chief Minister," he remarked.

A four-term party legislator asserted that Devendra Fadnavis is the leading candidate for the chief minister position. He highlighted that Fadnavis not only played a pivotal role in the BJP's triumph but also took the initiative to address the concerns of many dissenters and campaigned tirelessly for both party and MahaYuti candidates.

"Fadnavis is recognized as a skilled administrator, as evidenced during his tenure as chief minister from 2014 to 2019, where the state witnessed his effective governance style," he stated.

He also mentioned that Devendra Fadnavis is a brilliant strategist and will undoubtedly play a crucial role in managing the upcoming elections for the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation.

"The BJP is determined to raise the saffron flag over the BMC," he declared.

He further noted that Devendra Fadnavis has established himself as a leader committed to implementing a development vision.

"Under his leadership, the state government will strive to transform Maharashtra into a $1 trillion economy while addressing fiscal challenges, particularly in light of rising revenue deficits and public debt," he said.

He added that Devendra Fadnavis also enjoys substantial backing from the RSS, which is crucial for his ascension to the chief ministerial role.
