Mahayuti under Fadnavis will once again emerge No. 1: Amit Shah in Nanded

Shah for the first time visited Maharashtra after Operation Sindoor. The three-day visit to Maharashtra from May 25 to 27 assumes significance ahead of the local bodies elections in the state. Shah, apart from the scheduled programmes, is holding deliberations with top state leaders.

At the public meeting held at Monda grounds in Nanded city, Shah said, “Devendra Fadnavis has taken the reins of Maharashtra as CM for the third time. Under his able leadership, Mahayuti will once again emerge in number one position.” In Viksit Bharat 2047 envisaged by PM, Fadnavis will ensure Vikist Maharashtra which will play an important role, Shah said.

In a scathing attack on Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), he said, “The entire country and leaders across parties have hailed Operation Sindoor. They have lauded the role of our PM’s leadership and armed forces. But wonder what is wrong with Uddhav Thackeray’s party. I was aghast when a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader questioned the all-party delegation and termed it as a ‘baraat’ procession. Had Bal Thackeray been alive, he would have publicly acknowledged Operation Sindoor and been proud of Modiji. ”

“Whether it was a terrorist attack in Uri, Pulwama or Pahalgam, India has struck back hard. After the Pahalgam terror attack where individuals were targeted based on religion, Modi took the decision of Operation Sindoor. Our armed forces with precision destroyed nine terrorist camps including two headquarters within a short span of 20 minutes. The Pakistan retaliation through missiles and drones were effectively countered by our armed forces who also demolished Pakistan’s defence system,” he said.

“To expose Pakistan’s terror face, we have also deployed all political parties’ delegations to visit different countries to apprise them about Operation Sindoor and related aspects.

Apart from our resolve to combat terrorism, we have also launched a massive campaign against naxalism. In the recent anti-naxal operation, CRPF, BSF and Chhattisgarh police have countered and eliminated three-dozen naxals. And some have surrendered. Today, I would like to announce that by March 31, 2026 we will end naxalism across country,” he said.

Earlier at Nagpur in the morning, Amit Shah conducted the bhoomi pujan for the National Cancer Institute’s ‘Swasti Niwas,’ a special guest house for the relatives of the patients.

At Swasti Niwas, the relatives of the patients who are hospitalised and undergoing treatment at NCI will get hassle-free accommodation. The project is to ensure proper facilitation to the relatives from distant places who visit the hospital for the treatment of their kith and kin, Fadnavis said.

“The National Cancer Institute at Nagpur is a world class hospital with advanced technology to treat the patients. Over the years, the NCI will emerge as the premier research institution of the country,” Fadnavis said.
