BJP will remain the
Devendra Fadnavis says party will win the polls, but triumph will be easier in case of an alliance with Shiv Sena, calls Uddhav’s barbs critical commentary
I had given survey reports on performance of MPS and MLAS and overall perception of our party recently, but the media reports on the outcome of this survey were completely wrong. I won’t go into the details, but, for instance, some reports said that MP Subhash Bhamre had performed poorly. This is farthest from the truth. He was among the top five performing MPS in the state. The survey results suggest good tidings for us in the polls. It has established that we are the number one party in the state. For instance one finding was that in Mumbai, PM Narendra Modi is more popular than he was in 2014. There are two ways to achieve that, through judiciary or a new law. For a law, we don’t have a majority in the Rajya Sabha, so we will have to bring all parties on one platform. I think we will get a favourable verdict from the Supreme Court, going by the High Court judgment. This does not mean we are against masjids. If someone is trying to break a masjid, I will save it. But this is a different case as originally a temple existed here and that has been proven. clear guidelines and laws for it. If anyone is found guilty, he must not be spared. At the same time, I feel this should not be misused. Due diligence must be followed. I want to go in for a cabinet expansion. It should happen before the session of the state Assembly. There is no controversy in this case. It has been decided which ministers (a few) will be dropped and who will be inducted.
