Be ready to sacrifice instead of making demands, Fadnavis tells BJP workers

Nagpur: Deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday, speaking at the BJP’s Maharashtra executive meeting, asked the party workers to be prepared for making sacrifices. He also asked them to be ready for the success of the state government in next two and half years. 

Our's is a 20-20 govt, opposition scared: Fadnavis

‘’Our government is a 20-20 government (referring to the two and half years term but with lot of work to be done to meet the expectations of the people). Therefore, the party workers should not think of what they will get. Get rid of what I will get, people give you more. Th efficiency ends if party workers will think about what they will get,’’ he noted.

Fadnavis took a swipe at the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government and claimed that it was totally paralysed. ‘’However, our government (Shinde camp-BJP alliance) came to power in June and took a slew of decisions including the financial assistance to the farmers hit by the natural calamities. The opposition is targeting the government as they are scared by the government’s speed with which it is functioning,’’ he added.
