“The election took place after a long gap. In every election, somebody wins and somebody lags behind. The BJP secured the maximum number of seats. It becomes their responsibility to ensure progress of Mumbai,” Abdullah said.
The Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was speaking to media after taking part in the Tata Mumbai Marathon, joining thousands of runners in promoting fitness, endurance, and a healthy lifestyle through the high-profile sporting event.
“The BJP now carries a major responsibility to fulfil the expectations of Mumbai’s residents after emerging as the largest party in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections,” he said.
The people of Mumbai have given the BJP a chance to ensure progress of Mumbai, he said.
Abdullah also recalled the three years he spent in Mumbai during his college education.
“When I was in Mumbai for three years in my college days, one would have never imagined even in dreams that the city will on day have infrastructure projects such as the Coastal Road,” Abdullah said. (PTI)
