Today, Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, hinted at Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s prominent role in the BJP’s upcoming second list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. This indication comes as the ruling alliance in the state finalizes its seat-sharing agreement.

Fadnavis Dismisses Thackeray’s Offer

Addressing reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis dismissed the offer made by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray to Nitin Gadkari for a Lok Sabha ticket from the opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

Fadnavis underlined Gadkari’s significance within the BJP, stating, “Gadkari is our prominent leader. He contests from Nagpur. When the first list of candidates (of BJP) was released, there had been no discussions among Mahayuti partners (BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP). When the discussions take place, Gadkari ji’s name would come up first (in the candidates’ list).”

Thackeray’s Offer Criticized

Fadnavis criticized Thackeray’s proposal, likening it to a small-time person offering someone the post of US President. Thackeray, at a rally on Thursday, had urged Gadkari to resign instead of “bowing before Delhi” and expressed his party’s commitment to securing Gadkari’s election as an MVA candidate.
