I assure the people that our Alliance will keep working for Maharashtra’s progress. Jai Maharashtra!”* he wrote.

“NDA’s pro-people efforts resonate all over! I thank people across various states for blessing NDA candidates in the various by-polls held. We will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling their dreams and aspirations,” he added, praising NDA workers for their grassroots efforts.
