Shinde will finish term, as an MLA or MLC: Fadnavis

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed confidence that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde would complete his full tenure even if disqualified as an MLA. Fadnavis stated that Shinde has a strong case and it is unlikely that he would be disqualified. Fadnavis also clarified that NCP leader Ajit Pawar was not promised the CM’s chair when he joined hands with the Sena-BJP government. In response to a video posted by the BJP, Fadnavis stated that there was no hidden message and it was randomly posted on social media.
