1st anniversary of govt moment of joy for all allies: Maha BJP

Maharashtra BJP today said the first anniversary of the Devendra Fadnavis led government in the state was not party specific but a moment of celebration for all allies.
State BJP chief Raosaheb Danve said the government had decided to publicise its achievements to the people effectively.
To a question on whether the party was celebrating by itself or had taken all allies on board, Danve said, "Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has told the party that there will be 'no celebration..Only communication' to highlight the achievements".
"First year anniversary is of the government and naturally it is moment of joy for everyone associated with the government. Our Chief Minister took oath of office on October 31, 2014 while Shiv Sena joined the government in December," he said.

The BJP chief said the party has decided to highlight the government's achievements during October 19 to October 31.
Danve said on October 19, the assembly election results were declared and BJP emerged as the single largest party with 122 seats.

He also said despite facing drought, hailstorm and unseasonal rains in a year, the state government had provided relief to the farmers and the Jalyukt Shivar Yojana saw people's participation of Rs 300 crore and 24 TMC water storage.
Danve, a former Union Minister, said assurances given to allies on larger involvement in decision making would be honoured.
"Our allies Mahadev Jankar and Vinayak Mete were given membership of the Legislative council. In future, we will give more", he said, referring to the demand for inclusion of these leaders in the council of ministers.
