THANE, MUMBAI,
INDIA : The Bharatiya Janata Party, Maharashtra, proudly announces the
unanimous appointment of Shri Ravindra Dattatray Chavan as the new President of
the Maharashtra State BJP. A four-time MLA from Dombivli and a seasoned party
worker with over 23 years of meaningful public service. Shri Chavan’s
appointment exemplifies the core foundations of BJP’s leadership dedication,
ideological commitment, and organizational strength.
This appointment
comes at a defining moment for Maharashtra, as the political, social, and
regional dynamics of the state continue to evolve. Chavan’s elevation signifies
the representation to ideologically grounded leadership and party’s long-term
vision for Maharashtra.
Shri Ravindra
Chavan’s journey is an inspiring example for every political worker. Hailing
from urban Dombivli, Chavan began his political journey through the BJP Yuva
Morcha, steadily rising through the ranks — from corporator to MLA, to
Minister, and now State President. He has been shaped by both ideological
clarity and ground-level experience, making him a leader who understands the
pulse of the people as well as the discipline of the organization.
He is known to
be an impactful persona within the party and among citizens — “Ravindra
Chavan,” the cultural torchbearer who nurtures local talent and institutions
like Dombivlikar Ek Sanskrutik Parivar, and “Ravi Chavan,” the tireless
political strategist who has played pivotal roles in important elections,
including in Kalyan-Dombivli, Palghar, and Sindhudurg. His versatility,
groundedness, and fierce loyalty to the party’s cause have made him a trusted
face for both grassroots karyakartas and senior leadership.
Chavan hails
from Konkan with roots in both Mumbai and Dombivli, his appointment helps the
party reach out more effectively to the masses.
Having served
under both Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde as a Minister, Shri Chavan has
delivered substantial infrastructure results, overseeing ₹92,000 crore worth of
roads, bridges, and government buildings — including fast-tracking the
Mumbai-Goa Highway. His effective handling of critical political situations
demonstrates his ability to navigate complex political terrains with maturity
and discretion.
Shri Chavan
assumes charge during a politically packed year featuring Gram Panchayat, Zilla
Parishad, and Municipal Corporation elections across the state. His foremost
responsibility will be to present the achievements of the BJP government,
promote the development work done under CM Devendra Fadnavis, and reinforce the
party’s message across urban and rural Maharashtra. He also carries the task of
strengthening the digital narrative, countering misinformation, and motivating
the cadre to take party to the last mile. The respect he commands within the party
is evident in the affectionate titles “Aapla Ravi” and “Ravidada”, used by
karyakartas and senior leaders alike indicating not just accessibility, but
deep-rooted connection and credibility.
Ravindra
Chavan’s appointment is a reaffirmation of the BJP’s ideological foundation:
nation first, party next, self last. It is also a reflection of BJP
Maharashtra’s deep belief in nurturing homegrown leadership. In contrast to
dynastic politics, the BJP continues to show that a common karyakarta can rise
to the highest organizational post through discipline, dedication, and
delivery.
This is not
merely a promotion; it is a responsibility and opportunity to lead the BJP
through Maharashtra’s dynamic political phase with strength, unity, and vision.
The Maharashtra BJP stands united behind Shri Ravindra Chavan and is confident
that under his leadership, the party will continue to grow stronger, more
inclusive, and even more connected to the aspirations of the people.
