Fadnavis Slams Uddhav's 'Mayor' Remark After BMC Win: "We Will Decide!"
- •The BJP alliance secured a significant victory in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, shifting power from the 'Thackeray empire' to the Shinde-Fadnavis alliance.
- •Despite the loss, Uddhav Thackeray claimed his party could still secure the Mayor's post, a remark strongly condemned by Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis.
- •Fadnavis sarcastically linked Uddhav's 'Deva' comment to his own name, 'Devendra' alias 'Deva Bhau', asserting that all BMC decisions would be collective.
- •Fadnavis stated that decisions regarding the Mayor's post, election timing, and tenure would be jointly made by him, Eknath Shinde, and their party leadership.
- •Thackeray accused the BJP and Eknath Shinde of betraying Mumbai, winning through 'betrayal' and 'mortgaging Mumbai', and alleged misuse of state machinery and election irregularities.
Why It Matters: Fadnavis strongly condemned Uddhav's claim on the Mayor's post after BMC elections, asserting collective alliance decisions.
