KALYAN: Ahead of the Kalyan–Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) elections, a BJP workers’ rally was held on Tuesday evening in Kalyan East, where BJP state president Ravindra Chavan called upon party workers and citizens to support the BJP to bring transparent governance to the civic body. During the meet, Chavan interacted with BJP office-bearers and workers from across the city and set the tone for the upcoming elections.Addressing the rally, Chavan said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Maharashtra, the country and the state are witnessing transparent and people-oriented governance. “On the same lines, we now want to establish a transparent administration in the Kalyan–Dombivli Municipal Corporation as well. For this, it is essential to support the BJP in the upcoming elections,” he said.
Referring to the slogan “Parliament to Panchayat, 100 per cent BJP,” Chavan reminded workers that the transparent governance model implemented at the Centre and the state must be extended to the civic level.
