Nagpur: The BJP has set a target of winning 150 seats in the 2024 Assembly polls in Maharashtra, said Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He was speaking at the executive body meeting of the Nagpur unit of the BJP.
"We are working to win more than 150 seats (out of 288 seats) in the Assembly polls. Schemes of the Central government as well as the eradication of corruption have brought relief to citizens. The middle class has got relief in the Union budget, including higher income tax rebate," said the BJP leader.
He alleged that the Maha Vikas Aghadi government of Uddhav Thackeray worked from home and was mired in corruption. The Bharatiya Janata Party has routinely alleged Thackeray of rarely moving out of Mumbai as chief minister, despite pressing issues brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown, and farmers distressed by heavy rain.
He claimed that BJP workers continued to meet people during the pandemic and the change in government in June 2022 accelerated development in the state.
Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule also spoke in the meeting and asked booth workers to take benefits of welfare schemes of the state and Central governments to the citizens through door-to-door campaigns.
