Top themes of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s campaign speech: “We will respond to the ‘vote jihad’ by initiating a ‘vote Dharam yudh’ against them. What kind of ‘vote jihad’ is happening here? This Ulema demands 100 billion rupees from the Waqf Board; they have also demanded that cases against Muslims accused in riots from 2012–2014 be withdrawn. The Congress has accepted these 17 demands, but we will never accept this. People are threatening us by praising Aurangzeb. If a Muslim is patriotic, he will never consider that man a hero—he was an invader. Even dogs wouldn’t urinate on his grave. Don’t worry; we will soon hoist the tiranga over all of Pakistan. The wolves have smelt blood. They know they got good results last time through ‘vote jihad.’ We were asleep then, and that’s why we were deceived by their ‘vote jihad,’ but now we have woken up.”
