Fadnavis Rejects BJP's Local Tie-ups with Congress, AIMIM; Warns Action

  • Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis rejected BJP's local post-poll alliances with Congress and AIMIM in municipal councils.
  • Fadnavis warned of disciplinary action against party leaders who formed such alliances without authorisation.
  • Alliances were formed in Ambernath (Thane) with Congress and NCP, and in Akot (Akola) with AIMIM and other parties.
  • In Ambernath, BJP allied with Congress and Ajit Pawar-led NCP, sidelining Shiv Sena, to elect Tejashree Karanjule Patil as president.
  • In Akot, BJP formed 'Akot Vikas Manch' with AIMIM and others, leading to Maya Dhule's election as mayor.

Why It Matters: Fadnavis firmly rejected unauthorised BJP alliances with Congress/AIMIM, threatening disciplinary action.
