As Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s birthday approaches on July 22, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a directive to party leaders and workers, urging them to refrain from putting up hoardings, banners, or publishing advertisements in newspapers or on television channels to mark the occasion.

BJP State Office Secretary Mukund Kulkarni conveyed the party’s appeal, emphasising that any such public display will be considered a serious violation of party discipline.


Instead, the party has encouraged well-wishers to mark the occasion by contributing to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Kulkarni stressed that these guidelines must be strictly adhered to.
