The city unit of Bharatiya Janata Party expressed joy as Chandrashekhar Bawankule has taken a top position in Maharashtra State BJP. Party volunteers burst the crackers, distributed sweets. In Koradi, his hometown, people gathered near his residence and raised slogans hailing his appointment as State BJP President. Bawankule is the third person from city who became BJP State President after Nitin Gadkari and Devendra Fadnavis.
Pravin Datke, City BJP President said, “Under the leadership of Bawankule, BJP will become stronger. When he was minister he had established a good connect with people. He used to visit every home. He knows names of party workers, office-bearers. It will help him while planning the party’s activities. As an Energy Minister Bawankule did micro planning and did so much work. It was during his time that load-shedding was stopped. He played an important role in farmers getting justice and reservation to OBC.”
According to Krishna Khopde, MLA, Bawankule would bring new energy in party. “Bawankule is known for his patient approach. Bawankule always gave justice to the responsibility he was given by the party. Earlier, he was General Secretary of State BJP and contributed a lot in strengthening the party,” Khopde stated.
In last election party denied him the candidature. Instead of reacting in negative manner, Bawankule welcomed the decision and started working hard with the commitment. He also made significant contribution in saving OBC reservation, added Khopde.
Hailing the appointment of Bawankule, Adv Dharmpal Meshram, State BJP Secretary expressed confidence that BJP would get a boost. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, National BJP President J P Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, State Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, ex-State BJP President Chandrakant Patil for the decision to make Bawankule Party’s State President.
