MUMBAI: BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday sought the support of the north Indian community to “overthrow” the Shiv Sena from the BMC in order to rid the city of corruption. Elections to several civic bodies in the state, including Mumbai where the Shiv Sena has ruled for more than two decades, are due this year.
The BJP’s Hindi Bhashi Mahasankalp Sabha at Nesco in Goregaon on Sunday began with the chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa. “We have now started chanting the Hanuman Chalisa; Lanka will soon be burnt down,” Fadnavis said.
Terming the north Indian community in the city Mumbaikars, he invoked Hindutva and reminded those present that the BJP is its true torchbearer.
