Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Girish Mahajan has said that the Mahayuti government has to come to power again in the state to continue the welfare measures for the poor, farmers, labourers and students.
"I prayed to lord Hanuman today that Mahayuti government come to power again in the state so that we can continue the welfare measures for the poor, farmers, labourers and students. We have to increase the irrigation and education facilities. We have to make available 24-hour electricity to farmers," Mahajan told ANI after filing nominations from the Jamner Assembly constituency. "I have filed my nomination today. I am a 6-term MLA, continuously since 1995. This is my 7th term, and the party has given me one more opportunity and given me a ticket, but I have never seen such a crowd and enthusiasm by workers. I think we will make a record and win Jamner by a massive lead," he said. Before filing his nominations, Mahajan conducted a roadshow in the constituency where hundreds of his supporters turned up. A total of 10,905 nomination papers have been submitted for the Maharashtra Assembly elections, representing 7,995 candidates across 288 constituencies, the Chief Electoral Officer's office stated.
