CM dismisses rumours of shift to Delhi

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis dismissed rumours of his induction into the union cabinet, stating he will remain in Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Fadnavis's visit to Delhi on Saturday sparked speculation after education minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, which Fadnavis denied.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claimed Fadnavis was a frontrunner to replace Pradhan, but Fadnavis categorically rejected the possibility.

Fadnavis downplayed the Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS event celebrating Pradhan's resignation, saying issues like the NEET paper leak concern the youth.

Fadnavis defended PM Modi's response to the paper leak controversy and noted that a video by Modi broke global engagement records.
