While speaking to the media, the Shiv Sena leader said: “Today is the anniversary of the death of the 3-day government that was formed last year. Our government will complete four years.”
Attacking Danve, he said: “The opposition leaders say such things in frustration because all their efforts have failed. They know very well that the people of Maharashtra are with this government.”

During an electoral rally of the Legislative Council in Parbhani, the BJP leader said: “They do not think that our government will not be formed, it will be formed in two or three months … we are just waiting for these elections to conclude.”
