During a speech in Maharashtra assembly, CM Devendra Fadnavis made a surprising remark about his deputy, Ajit Pawar. “You are called the ‘permanent deputy CM’, but my wishes are with you. You will be Chief Minister someday,” Fadnavis said. He also shared a light-hearted note, he said that Pawar would take on responsibilities early in the morning, and Eknath Shinde would work through night.
