Congress chief Harshwardhan Sapkal has claimed that Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis may move to Delhi to take up a central position. The statement was made in a press interaction, with Sapkal suggesting that Fadnavis’s experience could be useful at the national level.
Fadnavis, who served as Maharashtra’s chief minister from 2014 to 2019, remains a senior leader in the Bharatiya Janata Party. The speculation about a central posting has sparked interest among political observers, who note that such a move could influence the party’s strategy in the upcoming general elections.
So far, neither the BJP nor Fadnavis himself has commented on the claim. The lack of an official response has left the rumor circulating in political circles, with analysts debating the feasibility and timing of a potential relocation.
If confirmed, a Delhi posting for Fadnavis could signal a shift in the party’s focus on experienced state leaders for national roles, potentially affecting alliances and candidate selections in forthcoming elections.
