Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Maharashtra) [India], November 11 : All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi in a sharp clapback to Devendra Fadnavis "Vote Jihad-Dharma Yuddha" remarks said that the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister will not become the CM and his dreams are set to be shattered.
Speaking to mediapersons, Owaisi said, "Now he (Devendra Fadnavis) is not going to become the Chief Minister. His dreams are going to be shattered...They are united only for show, from inside they are only pulling each other's legs, I know that."
Owaisi said this in Aurangabad East Assembly seat where he is campainging for AIMIM candidate Imtiaz Jaleel.
On Saturday Fadnavis while campaigning for Mahayuti candidates for Assembly polls, said that that "Vote-Jihad" should be countered by "Dharma-Yuddha" of the vote.
He also asserted that no one can change the name of the city. Aurangabad was renamed to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the second ruler of the Maratha state after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Meanwhile, the BJP launched its manifesto on Sunday promising a total of 25 assurances to the people of the State if elected to power for another term in the State.
The BJP's manifesto released by Amit Shah and other leaders in Mumbai, promises Rs 2,100 to women every month, a loan waiver of up to 15,000 for farmers including 20 per cent subsidy on MSP, stability on prices of essential commodities, and reduction in electricity bills among other assurances.
Assembly elections in the state are scheduled for November 20, with votes for all 288 constituencies to be counted on November 23.
The opposition MVA coalition, comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Nationalist Congress Party (SCP), seeks to reclaim power in the state, challenging the Mahayuti alliance, which includes Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Ajit Pawar-led NCP.
In the 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena secured 56, and Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP won 122 seats, Shiv Sena 63, and Congress 42.
