Maharashtra assembly polls: Devendra Fadnavis walks on Marine Drive to garner votes for BJP

Ahead of the Assembly elections, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday kick-started "Mumbai walks with BJP" ('Mumbai Chali BJP Sobat') campaign at Marine Drive on Sunday morning with his south Mumbai candidates.

The chief minister was accompanied by BJP's Malabar Hill candidate Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Colaba candidate Rahul Narvekar along with scores of party workers.

The aim of the campaign is to garner voters' support for the BJP in the poll-bound state.

"A CM should always be in touch with the local residents. Residence groups in Colaba are supporting BJP. The chief minister has been approachable to us in the last five years," said Ramesh Daswani, a Colaba resident.
