Nitesh Rane : Mahayuti's Mayor after 25 Years, Statement by Nitesh Rane
Municipal elections have concluded and their results have also been announced. Mahayuti has achieved a historic victory in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation and established power. After 25 years of the Thackeray group's monopoly, finally, Mahayuti's mayor will be seated in Mumbai, drawing the entire state's attention to the mayoral selection.
After the Mumbai Municipal Corporation election results, BJP leader Nitesh Rane expressed his reaction. He credited this victory to the people of Mumbai, saying, “The people of Mumbai have given us immense support. The public has elected the grand alliance, trusting in the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.” Nitesh Rane also made a clear statement regarding the mayoral position. He stated, “The mayor of Mumbai will be a Hindu,” and expressed confidence that, “Saying Jai Shri Ram, the grand alliance's mayor will soon sit on the mayor's chair.” His statement has sparked new discussions in political circles.
The victory of the grand alliance is considered to have brought a significant change in Mumbai's politics. The BJP-Shiv Sena grand alliance is now set to take power in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, which was considered a stronghold of the Shiv Sena. During the campaign, the grand alliance focused on issues of development, infrastructure, security, and the benefits of a 'double engine' government. It is said that Mumbaikars have responded to this.
According to political analysts, the mayoral election is not just a formal process but will determine the direction of Mumbai's future governance. Therefore, everyone is watching whom the grand alliance places its trust in. Internal discussions between the BJP and Shiv Sena have gained momentum, and the face of the mayoral candidate is likely to be announced after the reservation draw is released.
Meanwhile, Nitesh Rane's statement is likely to be criticized by the opposition. However, leaders of the grand alliance claim that this victory is one of development and trust. Important decisions regarding the selection of the mayor will be made in the coming days, and a new era is set to begin in Mumbai's politics.
