Maha civic polls: Vijayendra, Ashoka hail BJP-led alliance's performance, express confidence of repeating it in B'luru

BJP leaders Vijayendra and Ashoka celebrate the Mahayuti alliance's victory in Maharashtra civic polls and express confidence for upcoming Bengaluru elections.

"This emphatic mandate reflects the people's renewed endorsement of the BJP's politics of development. - R. Ashoka"

Bengaluru, Jan 16

Commenting on the victory of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra civic polls, including in Mumbai, BJP Karnataka State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka on Friday expressed confidence of repeating the victory in the Bengaluru civic polls.

Opposition leader Ashoka stated: "After the unprecedented victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP-Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) alliance has once again sounded a resounding victory bugle in the elections to prestigious urban local bodies in Maharashtra, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), as well as Pune, Nagpur and all major city municipal corporations in the state.

"This emphatic mandate reflects the people's renewed endorsement of the BJP's politics of development."

"Heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President J.P. Nadda, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and all the workers of BJP Maharashtra, who have been the architects of this historic victory," he said.

Just as the people of Mumbai have extended their support to the BJP, the people of Bengaluru too will bless the party in a big way in the upcoming elections to the five municipal corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), he stated.

Through the forthcoming local body elections, the path towards the decline of the Congress party in Karnataka is certain to begin, Ashoka underlined.

BJP Karnataka State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said: "The people of Maharashtra have delivered a resounding verdict in the Urban Local Body elections, decisively in favour of the BJP-led alliance across the state, including the major city of Mumbai."

This verdict reflects the trust placed in the leadership of PM Narendra Modi at the Centre and the governance of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the state, Vijayendra said.

"I also extend my congratulations to the dedicated karyakartas of the BJP in Maharashtra, the true backbone of our party, whose tireless efforts made this emphatic success possible," he said.

"This mandate clearly captures the public mood and will be repeated in Karnataka when our state's local bodies go to the polls," Vijayendra stated.

Victory in one state doesn't guarantee success in another. Karnataka has its own local issues. BJP needs to talk about concrete plans for Bengaluru's waste management, water crisis, and public transport, not just ride on Modi's name. Let's hear the local manifesto.

As a Mumbaikar now living in Bengaluru, I've seen the improvement in civic projects under BJP-Shiv Sena in Mumbai. If they can bring that efficiency to sort out Bengaluru's lakes and flooding issues, they will get my vote. Action speaks louder than words.

Interesting to watch Indian politics. The confidence is high, but isn't it a bit early to claim victory in Bengaluru? The Congress government is still in power in Karnataka. Shouldn't civic polls be about local councilors and their work, not national figures?

Jai Maharashtra! 🎉 This win shows the people's faith in Modi ji's vision. The same wave will come to Karnataka. Bengaluru is the tech capital and deserves a government that works for development, not corruption. Vijayendra and Ashoka are right to be confident.

Honestly, I'm tired of this political boasting. My only request to whoever wins: please fix the footpaths in my area. They are unusable. Focus on basic amenities for citizens, not just election rhetoric. That's the real "mandate" we need.
