Later, Devendra Fadnavis, former chief minister of Maharashtra and current deputy chief minister, attended the fourth meeting. Fadnavis said forming a grand coalition government in this parliamentary election is his top priority. Fadnavis said – Becoming the chief minister is not my priority. Fadnavis pointed to false narratives as the reason for the BJP’s poor performance in the Lok Sabha.
‘We suffered from voting jihad’
Fadnavis said – We are too confident about Maharashtra. We cannot disprove false narratives. Poll jihad is also taking place in Maharashtra. Here, houses of worship are called upon to vote against us. Whatever happens through vote jihad, it will not play a role in the parliamentary elections. Now I have full confidence that our government will be formed in Maharashtra.
Fadnavis said jihadi madrassas in Maharashtra have stopped research and no further assistance will be provided to those schools conducting jihadi education. Responding to Nana Patole’s allegations, Fadnavis said – Jihad has nothing to do with the word Hinduism. Hindus are tolerant. Secularism exists only because of Hinduism.
What did Fadnavis say to Sanjay Raut?
When asked what are your views on the allegations against Sanjay Raut. Fadnavis said – I am not responsible for someone of Raut’s level. When asked, what do you think about Yogi Adityanath’s statement – If you divide, you will divide. Fadnavis said there was nothing wrong with that.
Fadnavis said – We do not consider minorities as a vote bank. When asked, Uddhav Thackeray said – Either you contest this election or he contests? Fadnavis said – No one can erase anyone’s personality, in politics only the public can erase someone’s existence.
