Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis apparently openly challenged Congress and NCP in a campaign held at Kolhapur. "I challenge the Congress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to bring a list of their work done in 15 years of governance and our work done in four and a half years. Let us discuss the development and all will witness that we have surely done more than what they did in 15 years," he stated. Lakhs of people from Pune, Sangli, Satara, Kolhapur and other western parts of Maharashtra witnessed the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance campaign in Kolhapur while the Congress-NCP commenced from Karad.
