'Not running away from challenges': What Fadnavis said after poll debacle

While taking the responsibility for BJP's defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, Devendra Fadnavis had said, “I am not running away from challenges. I wish to take up the challenge and ensure the party returns to power with a thumping majority.”

Fadnavis further said, "I will urge my Central leadership to absolve me from my duties in the government and allow me to dedicate my time entirely to rebuilding and strengthening the organisation ahead of the Assembly elections. Since the Maharashtra elections were under my leadership I take full responsibility for the failure. I will certainly look into the reasons to ascertain my shortcomings."

“I will work as per the decision and guidance of the top leadership. As far as the state government is concerned, our team [of BJP ministers] will look into all governmental aspects. Wherever required, I will certainly be there to assist and help,” he said.

The Lok Sabha election results, Fadnavis said, were way below the party’s expectations. “We have reviewed and identified the reasons and made course corrections. Although our vote share has remained intact it did not translate into seats because of greater consolidation amongst the Maha Vikas Aghadi and false narrative which effectively was not countered on issues like the threat to the Constitution,” he added.
