By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: “In spite of the Delhi debacle of Bharatiya Janata Party, the entry of new members into BJP in Navi Mumbai has not stopped at all. I am totally unaware about whether talks are going on between Navi Mumbai’s Nationalist Congress Party’s leader and former minister Ganesh Naik and higher authorities of BJP. I have no idea whether Naik is harbouring any intention to join BJP,” said BJP’s regional spokesman Madhav Bhandari at a press conference held at CBD. He also said that he was unaware about whether Shiv Sena, BJP and Congress were to join hands to defeat NCP in Navi Mumbai.

Madhav Bhandari spoke to the pressmen about the internal problems of Navi Mumbai and the politicals adjustments that might take place.

Present during this occasion were Belapur’s MLA Manda Mhatre, BJP’s district president C V Reddy, general secretary Ramchandra Gharat, office bearers Maruti Bhoir, Bhagwanrao Dakne and others.

Madhav Bhandari gave credit to Manda Mhatre for playing a significant role in persuading the Chief Minister to sanction 2.5 FSI for those dilapidated and dangerous CIDCO-constructed buildings in Navi Mumbai. He said that what Congress-NCP alliance could not achieve in 15 years, BJP government did it within 100 days after it came to power. “No party other than BJP can take credit for introduction of 2.5 FSI in Navi Mumbai,” he said. He expressed that he was sure that during the forthcoming Municipal Election, BJP in Navi Mumbai is bound to triumph and capture most seats in Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation. He also added that the decision whether to fight the election alone or by having alliance with another party will soon be decided.

About the meeting that took place between PM Narendra Modi and NCP Chief Sharad Pawar, he said that the meeting was to discuss about some new research that is taking place in the field of agriculture.

Manda Mhatre promised that she will definitely rescue Navi Mumbaikars from harrassment by CIDCO by holding discussion with the State Government. She also said that she would ask the state government to exclude MH-43 from paying toll at Kharghar toll naka. She expressed her firm belief that the forthcoming Municipal electiion in Navi Mumbai will be won by BJP and to achieve this victory, she said, BJP party workers are working hard and unitedly.
