Fadnavis cast the BMC race as a test of a security-first, development agenda.

Overview

Addressing a Worli rally, the chief minister said the next Mumbai mayor from MahaYuti will be Marathi and Hindu, with installation targeted for January 16.
He pledged in‑city housing for the Marathi Manoos and mill workers, including state‑backed loan guarantees and progress on projects such as BDD chawl redevelopment and Abhyudaya Nagar.
He tied city safety to migration enforcement, citing refined AI tools to identify illegal Bangladeshi residents for deportation and claiming many were sent back in the past seven months.
He announced a Rs 17,000 crore “Green Mumbai” allocation featuring climate budgeting, oversight of more than 1,000 construction sites for dust control, and a pathway to Net Zero by 2050.
He reiterated a 59‑minute cross‑city commute goal through a 450 km metro network, with 150 km operational and 50–100 km to be added annually; BMC polling is on January 15 with counting on January 16.
