The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra will organise a state-wide agitation against the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government on February 25.

Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil announced that the party’s state unit will protest against the state government over the latter’s “failure” to solve people’s issues and its “opposition” to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR). 

Patil informed that the agitation will take place at nearly 400 places. The protest will be held on the second day of the budget session in Maharashtra.

The budget session of Maharashtra legislature will begin on February 24. 

This comes after BJP held a state-level convention in Navi Mumbai’s Nerul on February 15 and 16 ahead of the upcoming Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) elections. While addressing the party workers and leaders, BJP President JP Nadda announced that the party will contest elections solo in Maharashtra.

Talking about going alone in the upcoming polls, Chandrakant Patil stated that they have not changed their strategy while asserting that the MVA government will fall due to the internal conflicts. 

Earlier, CM Uddhav Thackeray accused the BJP of planning ‘Operation Lotus’ in Maharashtra and dared them to topple his government. 

Speaking at the convention organised by the BJP, Devendra Fadnavias had also challenged the MVA government to contest mid-term polls. Later, NCP leader Nawab Malik slammed Fadnavis for his remarks and said that if elections take place, BJP will be in the worst position than it was in Delhi.
