Mumbai, Aug 21 (IBNS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday won the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation civic polls by bagging 61 of the 95 seats.

We will certainly live up to the expectations of people."

"#MiraBhayandar Municipal Corptn election victory is because of wave of 'vishwas & vikas' created by PM @narendramodi ji &team BJP's efforts!," he wrote.

Fadnavis congratulated his party leaders for the win.

"Congratulations to leaders&karyakartas for spectacular win! I thank people of #MiraBhayandar for having faith in us! I assure speedy devpt," he posted.
