Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis said that he still feels that he is the Maharashtra chief minister given the love and respect people shower on him. Fadnavis was the chief minister from 2014-19 twice first for a full term when the BJP-Shiv Sena was in power and then for just three days during which he accumulated support from NCP leader Ajit Pawar but later the government fell down.
However, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray became the chief minister after assembled an alliance with Sharad Pawar-led NCP and Congress keeping the BJP out of power. Fadnavis’s comments came at a function in Belapur in the satellite township of Navi Mumbai in presence of senior leaders like Ganesh Naik and Manda Mhatre.
