The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is still undecided about Devendra Fadnavis’s future ahead of the Maharashtra assembly polls scheduled for next month.
While a section of the party thinks that Fadnavis, the current Deputy Chief Minister in the Eknath Shinde government, is the most prominent BJP face in the state who enjoys the confidence of RSS and is favoured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to a report in Indian Express.
Others blame Fadnavis for BJP’s failure to get a majority in the 2019 Assembly polls and the recent collapse in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, which saw the party being reduced to nine seats from 23 in Maharashtra in 2019.
Now, according to the Indian Express report, there is a buzz that Fadnavis be brought to the Centre. Some have even suggested his name for party president succeeding JP Nadda whose term is long over. Fadnavis played a crucial role in candidate selection and party’s strategy on Lok Sabha polls and hence he should be held accountable for the abysmal performance of the BJP, some in the party feel.
