For the Savarkar Memorial Committee meeting, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis came to Pune on Wednesday evening. After that meeting, he met MP Girish Bapat and inquired about his health. The campaigning for the Kasba by-elections has started in full swing. DCM Fadnavis has taken this election very seriously. After meeting MP Bapat, he reached the house of MLA Siddharth Shirole. There he met Punit Balan, the pillar and support of Ganesh Utsav Mandals in Pune. Fadnavis and Balan had a discussion about various issues in the city for around 40 minutes.
Punit Balan group has always stood strong for the support of Ganeshotsav Mandals. Through the Punit Balan Group, huge financial support was given to more than 200 to 250 Ganesh mandals in the town assembly constituency. After the outbreak of Corona due to this help, Ganeshotsav could be celebrated in a good manner in Ganeshotsav mandals. Due to this, Ganesh Mandal workers and activists have personally connected with Balan. There is a possibility that regarding this the discussions took place between Fadnavis and Balan.
During this visit to Pune Devendra Fadnavis also met and discussed with other heads of different sections. After that, late night he held a meeting with key BJP workers and activists. For about three hours Devendra Fadnavis also held meetings with dignitaries from various fields.
