Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has firmly dismissed speculation about a move to national politics, declaring that he will continue serving in his current state role until 2029. Speaking at a press interaction in Mumbai, Fadnavis reaffirmed his commitment to Maharashtra’s development agenda, clarifying that his political focus remains entirely within the state. The clarification came after growing speculation that he might take on a national role within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), particularly in the lead-up to the 2026 Maharashtra Assembly elections and the 2029 general elections. He emphasized that the ongoing development initiatives under the BJP-led government — particularly in infrastructure, water conservation, and urban modernization — are his top priorities, and he intends to see them through to completion. Fadnavis, who previously served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra from 2014 to 2019, remains one of the most influential leaders in the state’s BJP unit. Since returning to power in 2022 as Deputy CM in the Eknath Shinde-led government, he has played a key role in stabilizing the coalition between the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and the BJP following the political turmoil triggered by Uddhav Thackeray’s ouster. His statement also subtly signals an attempt to quell internal speculation within the party ranks, as discussions had been circulating about his possible shift to the Union Cabinet in New Delhi. By committing to Maharashtra until 2029, Fadnavis underscored his intent to lead the state BJP through two key electoral cycles and maintain continuity in governance. #DevendraFadnavis #MaharashtraPolitics #BJP #EknathShindeGovernment #MVA #StateLeadership #2029Elections
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, is scheduled to visit flood-affected regions in the Marathwada area on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. The recent heavy rains have led to significant damage in districts such as Latur, Dharashiv, Beed, and Parbhani, resulting in the loss of eight lives and extensive harm to both crops and livestock. During their visit, the leaders aim to assess the ground situation, coordinate relief efforts, and engage with affected communities to understand their needs. Deputy CM Shinde has assured farmers of the government's full support during this crisis, emphasizing the administration's commitment to providing immediate assistance. #MaharashtraFloods #MarathwadaRelief #EknathShinde #DevendraFadnavis #AjitPawar #FarmersSupport #FloodAssistance #MaharashtraGovernment #newsone #DisasterRelief
