To woo Marathi voters and to give set back to Shiv Sena (UBT), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has organised Marathi Dandiya and Garba programme at Kalachowki in central Mumbai.
Kalachowki area is considered as the bastion of Shiv Sena (UBT). The area has large Marathi population and areas like Parel, Lal Baug and Sewri are connected to it. These voters always help Sena UBT to win the election. To turn the voters on their side BJP is celebrating Hindu festivals like dahi handi, ganeshotsav and navratri in these areas and alleged that during the Covid-19 pandemic, period Maha Vikas Aghadi government only put restrictions on Hindu festivals.
This is the second year for Marathi Dandiya in the Kalachowki where celebrities and actors from Marathi and Hindi film industries will remain present. In 2022, actor Ranveer Singh, music composor Avdhoot Gupte and many others attended the Marathi Dandiya, making it special for the crowd.
BJP left no stone unturned to beat Shiv Sena (UBT) in September when it organised dahi handi in Worli.
BJP leadership has instructed its workers to make the celebration special and bring more youngsters to participate in the festival. Earlier, the BJP had also organised train services to Konkan region during the Ganesh festival for devotees.
