In a campaign rally held in Navi Mumbai, Shiv Sena's candidate Naresh Mhaske, representing the Mahayuti alliance in the Thane Lok Sabha Constituency, received a significant boost as Chief Minister Eknath Shinde joined the fervent appeal to voters.

Amidst an enthusiastic gathering in Koparkhairane, Ghansoli, and Airoli, citizens poured in to express their support, adorning the rally with showers of flowers and bursts of fireworks. The palpable enthusiasm mirrored the prevailing sentiment, suggesting a promising victory for Mahayuti's candidate, Naresh Mhaske.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde emphasized the pivotal role of developmental strides undertaken by both state and central governments over recent years. He rallied for unity behind Mhaske, underscoring the imperative of advancing the nation's progress and bolstering Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

Highlighting transformative infrastructure projects such as the Atal Setu, Mumbai-Pune Link, and Navi Mumbai Metro, Shinde envisioned a future where Navi Mumbai emerged as a beacon of planned urban development. He stressed the Mahayuti’s indispensable role in sustaining this momentum.

However, amidst the fervour, Shinde issued a sharp rebuke, condemning the Shiv Sena's (UBT) recent alignment with the Congress. He criticized the alliance's association with individuals linked to anti-national activities and urged voters to align with the patriotic vision embodied by Prime Minister Modi. Emphasizing Modi's decisive actions such as the construction of the Ram temple and the abrogation of Article 370, Shinde rallied for Mhaske's victory as a step towards securing Modi's leadership for a third term.

The rally saw the presence of key political figures including senior BJP leader MLA Ganesh Naik and former MLA Sandeep Naik, alongside fervent supporters from various Mahayuti constituent parties and Navi Mumbai residents.
