Fadnavis Blasts Congress, Claims “Unfounded Allegations” Will Lead to Further Defeat

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra – November 16, 2025 – Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis launched a sharp critique of the Indian National Congress on Sunday, accusing the party of relying on baseless allegations of vote theft and poll irregularities to explain their recent electoral losses. Speaking at an event in Chikhalthana, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, Fadnavis stated that the Congress’s failure to provide evidence to the Election Commission or courts will only lead to further political setbacks.

His comments come in the wake of the Congress’s poor performance in the recent Bihar elections, where they secured only six seats in the 243-member Assembly. Fadnavis urged the party to reconnect with the public and address real issues to reverse their declining political fortunes.

He further highlighted the nation’s continued trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and dismissed the opposition’s narrative as “fake,” citing the NDA’s victory in the Bihar Assembly polls.

Fadnavis also criticized Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s recent protests, particularly regarding the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar water pipeline scheme, arguing that the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi government had stalled the project. He said his government has invested heavily in development in the Marathwada region, including funding for the water pipeline.

Looking ahead to upcoming local elections, Fadnavis encouraged BJP leaders to form alliances where strategically beneficial.

Fadnavis concluded by highlighting the economic growth of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, noting its transformation into a major industrial hub and a potential “EV capital of India.” He cited government investment in airport expansion and land acquisition, and reported that 70% of compensation for farmers impacted by floods and excess rain has been disbursed.

The event also marked the inauguration of the BJP’s new regional office with presence of Raosaheb Danve, Minister Atul Save, Pankaja Munde, Meghna Bordikar, and MP Bhagwat Karad.
