Historically Congress-NCP has always treated Mumbai (and MMR) as a hen that lays golden eggs. Money made from Mumbai is to be funneled back to their rural constituencies. No attempt was made to improve problems like commute in Mumbai by any Congress-NCP led govt ever.
Check out any major project in Mumbai (or MMR). It has always been started by BJP leaders. Nitin Gadkari as PWD minister built 55 flyovers in Mumbai, completed the Mumbai-Pune expressway and started work on the Bandra-Worli sea link. UPA govt inflated the cost for the sea link
And of course gave name of Rajiv Gandhi which of course no one uses. It is plainly called as Bandra Worli sea link and not Rajiv Gandhi samudri setu. UPA govt struggled for 7 years to build a 11 km metro line between Versova and Ghatkopar
While Devendra Fadnavis planned a 300 km plus metro network across Mumbai and MMR and started work on 150-200 km work in his tenure. Two routes of 35 km combined length will be ready by end 2021. Fadnavis also started work on trans harbor link & coastal road (on Western seaboard)
The public Wi-fi & CCTV network across Mumbai was built in Fadnavis tenure. Four laning of Mumbai-Goa highway was jointly started by Gadkari & Fadnavis. Also Gadkari started work on the greenfield Mumbai-Delhi expressway. So the party which gave lasting legacy to this city is BJP

What a perfect Googly by the Modi government !!

Read this ANI thread carefully. Vaccine market opened up. Now states cribbing that centre not giving us vaccines can buy directly from the manufacturers.

States will get vaccines from centre quota (50% of monthly vaccines produced) based on performance. Perform well on vaccination and get more quota. Perform badly and your quota decreases.
Even then states cannot crib as you can buy directly from manufacturers.
But the price will be either same or higher than the price at which centre procures the vaccines.
If states do corruption in this viz. by selling vaccines in black, the common people suffer and you cannot pass buck to the centre. You were given freedom to purchase

Narayan Rane the ex CM of Maharashtra has helped to get jobs for a lot of youth originally from Konkan but now in Mumbai, in enterprises like BEST etc. Many of these youth used to go to Konkan to campaign for him during elections.
#BMC2022
Mumbai has a huge population from Konkan historically as it is part of the coastline. Over the last century, the city grew n attracted more migrants. I myself am a 5th generation migrant from Konkan.
Hence Narayan Rane and family can help reach out to a lot of voters

#BMC2022
Rane was the first politician in Konkan who took road infra to the remotest of hilly villages. Over the last decade the Rane family had lost popularity in Konkan but now they are gaining back the turf.
Rane can influence atleast a 1000 votes in more than a 100 wards

Look at how fresh @PawarSpeaks saheb is looking nowadays. The lure of power makes people young. Pawar kaka is trying one last attempt at being PM.
First objective is to get Gandhis give up claim to throne for 2024 and support a third front consensus candidate
Will be hard but dont rule out Pawar trying to get secular establishment to put pressure on Gandhis to relent. Today Praful Patel and Sanjay Raut are talking about it. Tomorrow someone like a Ramchandra Guha may talk about it.
Barkha Dutt and Shekar Gupta like fixers may start writing pieces about it. Actually it is the only way 2024 will not be an one sided election if Modi keeps performing well. Combined opposition may be only hope to keep below 272 though it is not likely.

BJP has potential to win one more seat in Dahisar (Ward 1) where Ram Yadav of BJP had revolted and his wife had fought as an independent (reserved for women) and she came number 2. BJP official candidate stood 4th. Now Ram Yadav is back in BJP.

Bhau Torsekar on the problem Congress could pose to the Sena in BMC election (in Marathi)



#BMC2022
Bhau rightly points out that the appointment of trade union leader Bhai Jagtap as Mumbai Congress chief is a good move as he is an ambitious leader, unlike the earlier chiefs.
Cong which used to get anti Sena vote has lost it to the BJP in 2017 in Mumbai, as BJP is oppn to Sena
Bhai Jagtap is talking of Cong fighting on its own in BMC. There could be three reasons why he is talking like that,
1. Congress has lost strength in Mumbai. From 70 odd wards won in 2007 to 50 odd in 2012 and finally 30 odd in 2017, it has been a downward graph.

MVA govt n Uddhav opposed Modi's pet project bullet train despite knowing that Mumbai - Ahmedabad is just the first stage of Mumbai - Ahmedabad - Delhi route.
Then u unwisely move the metro yard from best location Aarey to unwieldy Kanjur marg knowing litigation
Centre has always been claiming the land through salt department. It is not a new stand after 2019. But still CM did this only coz his son wanted it this way.
Now when courts have stopped the work, and no other solution seems possible Uddhav is talking of reconciliation on this.
They hope to strike a bargain on the bullet train project and Kanjur marg metro yard. Knowing Modi this does not seem possible. But MVA is still trying by putting name of Pawar into this.
Pawar himself may be using this opportunity to talk to Modi on other issues as well
