Maharashtra’s grassroots democracy has spoken loudly in favor of the BJP-Mahayuti coalition, delivering a thumping majority in district and panchayat elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to X to laud this victory as a renewed mandate from the state’s populace, building on prior wins in city elections.
‘The people of urban and rural Maharashtra alike have given us a tremendous verdict, affirming their desire for governance that honors our glorious traditions,’ PM Modi wrote. He praised the relentless campaigning by Mahayuti activists who highlighted the state administration’s accomplishments alongside the NDA’s broader blueprint for progress. Gratitude poured from the PM towards Maharashtra’s citizens for this overwhelming support.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was jubilant, noting BJP’s position as the top party across 12 district panchayats where Mahayuti clinched control. In panchayat samitis, the gains were staggering—from 284 seats in 2017 to 410 now—with the alliance set to lead 105 of 125 blocks outright. ‘This is rural Maharashtra’s full-throated endorsement of our work,’ Fadnavis asserted.
He dismissed the opposition’s relevance, observing their absence from the ground while thriving only in headlines. This comprehensive triumph—from municipalities to rural bodies—reflects deep public confidence in Mahayuti’s vision. Looking ahead, expect accelerated rural development, enhanced services, and policies that bridge urban-rural divides, solidifying Maharashtra’s role as India’s growth engine.
