BJP leader welcoming former Congress leaders in Mumbai
It looks like the BJP has started spreading its wings at the grassroots level for the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. Two former Congress corporators joined the BJP on Monday further strengthening the party at the grass-roots level. During the event, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “We welcome former corporators who connect with the grassroots.” Experts claim this grass-roots work is needed to increase the number of votes.
Rajendra Narwankar, former corporator from the Mumbai Central area, ward number 216, and Jagdish Kutty, former corporator from Andheri East, ward number 82, joined the BJP in the presence of Fadnavis and MLA and BJP Mumbai Chief Advocate Ashish Shelar as well as Guardian Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha. During the event, Fadnavis said former corporators from various parties expressed a wish to join the BJP. “But, we have decided to welcome only those who have grassroots connections and are working on developing that. Kutty has worked as district president of the Congress and has good grassroots connections. Narwankar has good connections not only in his own ward but in other wards too, as he works at the ground level,” Fadnavis added.
