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.
