Devendra Fadnavis is the kind of leader who will write special remarks in letters and instruct the administration to initiate action. We have a leadership that works hard for the citizens round-the-clock.”</p>.<p>According to him, thousands of people across Maharashtra are willing to join the BJP. “They are waiting for us. The entry of big leaders will be managed by us. But the activists from every booth must ensure that they induct at least 25 people per activist,” he said, adding that some of the “leftovers” from Thackeray’s party too are waiting to join. </p>.<p>“Every activist must travel to at least 2,000 households and get at least ‘500 Thank You Modiji’, 500 Friends of BJP, and 500 Youth Warriors, and the future is ours. The atmosphere is compatible, there is competent leadership, an able and decision-making government both at the Centre and in the state. ‘<em>abhi nahi toh kabhi nahi</em>’ (if not now then never) and hence all the workers and activists must gear up,” he said.</p>
