In a break from conventional victory celebrations marked by boxes of sweets, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis chose a distinctly Mumbai-style gesture to mark the party’s triumph on Friday. 

Celebrating the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) victory, Fadnavis fed ‘Mumbaicha Vada’ — the humble yet iconic batata vada — to party state president Ravindra Chavan at the BJP’s head office at Nariman Point, drawing cheers from party workers and supporters.
