NEW DELHI: Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday announced he will continue in his current post until 2029, downplaying any immediate role in national politics .
"As far as I know my party....Delhi is still far away. I will continue as Maharashtra CM till 2029," Fadnavis said when asked about his role in national politics.
He made it clear that the current ruling dispensation—comprising the BJP , Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena , and Ajit Pawar’s NCP—will remain intact. "There will be no new partners or swapping of partners," he added, as quoted by PTI .
Fadnavis, the first non-Congress CM to complete a full five-year term in 2019, returned to office after last year’s assembly polls and moved back into the chief minister’s official bungalow earlier this year.
On a possible Maharashtra cabinet reshuffle, he stated, "No minister was inefficient. We will complete a year soon and a performance audit will be done."
Slamming the opposition for objecting to the electoral rolls, the CM said, “They haven't given objections and suggestions on the voters' list. They also oppose a complete revision of the voters' list. The opposition wants to get the local body polls postponed, but they don't have a solid reason. They don't speak about the voters' list in the Bihar campaign now."
Fadnavis also said the BJP will soon expose how the existing electoral rolls have benefited the Opposition, accusing them of trying to create a perception issue ahead of the polls. "They feel the local body polls can be problematic for them," he added.
The BJP leader stressed he holds no bitterness toward rivals. "Given the political stability after the 2024 assembly polls, I am confident cordiality will return (among leaders). Earlier, due to the political instability after the 2019 assembly elections, there was an enmity-like situation among political leaders. I have cordial relations with 99 per cent of political leaders," he said.
