OFF THE RECORD Municipal Corporations & ZP results–
- Had BJP even got 50 seats, for me, they were the winners even then! As coming to Mumbai, hat is the bastion of Sena, and EATING their votes is no joke!! When I entered the BJP office at Dadar yesterday, there was grim all over. There were very few karyakartas around and city chief Ashish Shelar was sitting in his cabin alone & refused to meet anyone including Yuva chief Mohit Kambhoj and his Man Friday, Prashant Dingankar. But once the gap inched closer slowly the atmosphere started building up and finally Shelar acme out & was seen at his jovial best. Had the differences between Ashish Shelar & CM Devendra Fadnavis of 13 seats resolved, boss, history was in making…But no use now…Politics is not based on If’s & But’s…
- Every relative whom BJP gave tickets won– except Ashish Shelar’s & Pravin Darekar’s own brothers. Yes! ‘Amul Baby’ Minister Vidya Thakur’s son-Deepak also won and so did “Rapist” Bhargav Patel’s son–Harsh…now tell me isn’t anything possible today in Devendra Fadnavis’s wave?
- Well, Well, Well!!! Gujrati “imports” of Shivsena –Mangal Bhanushali (ward 131) and Mukesh Karia (ward 108), both with BJP earlier, lost miserably yesterday. Why do people fall for small favours, I fail to understand. All their exercise of buying Mumbai Mirror reporter & spending endless cash on buying votes–was futile, I feel! Hahaha..Now ask any Gujrati & Marwari to join Sena, assuring you they will think 10 times and yet say a NO…Now at least will Uddhav Thackrey kick out these newly imports and make peace with the “upset” one’s? Aditya Thackrey–one advice–enough of lunches with these communities youngsters at 5 star hotels. Now time for some repair & reaching to every Shakha who are your’s.
- Major U-Turn I feel is that of The Times of India & Mumbai Mirror. Just see their political stand for the last 2 months and read these papers today–I’m surprised how these couple of BMC journalists quickly adapt to the change. Only thick skinned can do this…As they say —it takes time, but surely the tables turn my friends…
- For me, everyone is the winner in BJP but the person who stole the thunder and next in queue for Mumbai city chief for the BJP is hands down–MLA Amit Satam…All his projected candidates won..A man to watch out for in the near future. Similar with another veterans–MLA Atul Bhatkalkar & MP Kirit Somaiyya–cent percent results…
- Special thank you to Congress’s own enemy in Mumbai–Sanjay Nirupam. It took 3 election defeats to you to realise that you should not be a leader! Thank you for resigning!!
- Atul Shah –destiny’s man–finally luck smiles at you! Welcome to the bigger ring…
- Sena’s reasons for bad performance in Mumbai–bogus advisors and depending fully on newly acquired friends, corruption to no end that had everyone cursing the Sena, still believing in people like Subhash Desai just for being loyal (remember it is not compulsory that loyal people will bring in results), underestimating Devendra Fadnavis’s character, depending completely on English media –it is not the only media to trust and befriend, arrogance, Uddhav’s wife Rashmi’s continuous interference in party working and finally overconfidence–these were some of the reasons I think that has surely lowered Sena’s popularity…
- “It will be Shivsena’s mayor & CM next time”–Uddhav Thackrey–hahaha..now at least have Gajar ka Halwa Uddhavji–We want you, but a touch mellow. Please understand with all the modernity around, we understand everything. Your means of making money, your rich friends and so on…We will give back Mumbai to you, but it will be –at a promise! I’m sure today Balasaheb Thackrey would be furious with you in his grave, for the reasons best known to you for the ‘loss’ in Mumbai.
Now over to Maharashtra–
- “Even movies starring Amitabh Bachchan flop”–Supriya Sule—haha–Madam it was OK if your party had anyone that was of the calibre of Mr. Bachchan. We would have accepted it. But your party has all Prem Chopra’s and villains who starred in forgetful horror movies like Pyasi Jawani & Purana Mandir..But loosing Pune & Pimpri-Chinchwad is something you people need to surely ponder upon. What next CM Fadnavis–taking over Baramati or jailing Ajit Pawar?
- Shocker for me was Nashik–I was of the opinion that Raj Thackrey would be able to hold the bastion there due to the numerous things he had done that was showed to us on his computer in each of his rallies. But I guess, like his cousin Uddhav, he too was not given the opportunity due to false and fake promises and no results. Guess Ratan Tata might not pat Raj’s back the next time around.
- Underestimated Nitesh Rane showed us (in fact Aditya Thackrey should take lessons from him now) how only work and relations with the last person in the constituency results in victories. Rane was able to hold fort in Sindhudurg.
- Over-confident, stomach full Amit Deshmukh was dethroned from his hometown Latur’s ZP. Time for retrospection for the Deshmukh’s. Baap ke naan ka sahara kamjor aadmi leta hai–Guess you never got out of that tag– Amit Deshmukh.
- Reticent, arrogant and overconfident Praniti Shinde was also embarrassed with results in Solapur. Sushil Kumar Shinde time for you to teach some lessons to your daughter. Credit entirely goes to both Minister’s in Devendra’s team- Vijay Deshmukh & Subhash Deshmukh…
- Nagpur–I remember Nitin Gadkari’s statement in one of the rally at Mumbai 10 days ago. He had said, put mine or Devendra Fadnavis’s photo on the pamphlet and I assure you, that candidate will win any elections in Nagpur. That’s proved yet again, Nitin ji. One of the karyakarta’s of the party who has been with the BJP for a decade now wanted ticket to contest this election. But at the last minute when the reservation of the ward changed to that of a women, the karyakarta was lucky enough to secure a ticket for his wife– who is a school teacher—now all she did was to visit door to door having these two giants photos on the pamphlets and guess what friends–she won…But, now Please someone tell me who is responsible for defeat of the biggest candidate of Congress in Nagpur–Vikas Thackre?
- Boss they say rule as if there is no tomorrow–Kudos to MLA Uday Samant. Must tell you, Uday Samant is like Suresh dada Jain of Jalgaon. Any party, any election–Samant is the winner always in Ratnagiri…Kudos again!!
