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.

Ratnagiri, Maharashtra | June 30, 2025 In a landmark initiative to promote health, fitness, and gender equality through sports, Shri Narayan Rane – Hon’ble Member of Parliament, former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, and former Union Minister, Government of India – successfully organized the Ratnagiri Khel Mahakumbh 2025, an inclusive and large-scale sporting event that united youth, communities, and institutions across Maharashtra in a vibrant celebration of athletic excellence and social empowerment.

Held across multiple venues in the Ratnagiri district, the Khel Mahakumbh drew enthusiastic participation from over thousand athletes, spanning schoolchildren, college students, rural youth, professionals, and emerging sportspersons, with a strong presence of women athletes and participants from underrepresented communities. This monumental event was made possible through the direct sponsorship and institutional support of leading public sector undertakings including NTPC, Power Grid Corporation of India, ONGC, State Bank of India (SBI), Union Bank of India, Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum (BPCL).

A Vision for a Healthier, Stronger India

Addressing the gathering at the inauguration ceremony, Shri Narayan Rane expressed his commitment to strengthening India’s youth through sports, discipline, and unity:

“The Ratnagiri Khel Mahakumbh is a people’s movement. It goes beyond competition—it is about building a culture of health, teamwork, and gender equality. With the backing of our national institutions and the enthusiastic participation of local communities, we are planting the seeds of a stronger, more inclusive India.”

Promoting Gender Equality & Inclusive Participation

A key focus of the Mahakumbh was to encourage equal participation by girls and women, and to break down long-standing barriers in sports access. Nearly 40% of the athletes were female participants, with several all-women teams competing across disciplines. Special sessions on leadership in sports, nutrition, and mental health were organized to support their journey both on and off the field.

Competitions were structured to ensure fair play and inclusivity, with categories for children, youth, senior citizens, and differently-abled athletes, reflecting the event’s truly grassroots character.

This unprecedented convergence of national institutions reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening India’s youth through sports and leadership development, beyond traditional business roles.

Community Involvement & Local Pride

The atmosphere in Ratnagiri was electric, with local communities turning out in large numbers to cheer on participants. More than 10 educational institutions from across the Konkan region sent delegations, and over 30 community organizations took part in organizing, mentoring, and volunteering activities.

Local entrepreneurs and vendors also benefitted from the economic opportunities created through food stalls, sports merchandise kiosks, and cultural exhibitions set up around the event venues, showcasing Ratnagiri’s unique traditions and boosting regional pride.

Rewards & Recognition

Medals, certificates, and trophies were presented by Shri Narayan Rane and senior representatives of the sponsoring institutions. Top athletes were offered opportunities for advanced training through Maharashtra’s state-level academies, and several promising talents have been recommended for future scholarship and mentorship programs.

Awards were also distributed for best team spirit, most disciplined school delegation, and outstanding female athlete, underscoring the event’s focus on character as much as competition.

Future Roadmap

Inspired by the overwhelming response, Shri Narayan Rane announced that the Ratnagiri Khel Mahakumbh would be developed into an annual flagship event, with plans to expand participation across more districts and integrate digital tools for athlete tracking and training support.

“We are committed to turning this into a sustainable, nationwide movement. With the continued support of our institutional partners, we will keep nurturing the spirit of fitness, unity, and opportunity,” Shri Rane declared.
