New Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil: Party aims to get 'Congress-mukt' Maharashtra 


 

Mumbai: BJP's newly-elected Maharashtra unit chief Chandrakant Patil said on Wednesday that it was his priority to make the state "Congress-free" in the forthcoming assembly elections.

"NCP has got an increase of 1.20 lakh votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Baramati Lok Sabha constituency. It is difficult to cover it in this assembly elections, but I have set the target of winning Baramati Lok Sabha seat in 2024," Patil said.

He replied that "BJP-Sena and allied parties should win 220 seats," in response over the question how many seats the saffron alliance will winA few months back, the minister had said that the BJP and the Shiv Sena would contest 135 seats each, leaving the rest for the allies.

Commenting on that statement, Patil said, "The small allies of BJP and Shiv Sena also have some mass base. If we want that base to vote for us, we need to give them some seats to contest."

"Don't be surprised to see one of the five state working presidents of the Congress joining the BJP in the coming days," he said.

The party also appointed Nitin Raut, Baswaraj M Patil, Vishwajeet Kadam, Yashomati Chandrakant Thakur, and Muzaffer Hussain as its five working presidents.
