While the name of Devendra Fadnavis is being discussed, names like Vinod Tawde and Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil are also being considered. However, there are speculations that this time a leader with deep roots in the original BJP and RSS will be considered. This has been proved by the recent changes made in states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, where unexpected leadership decisions were taken for the broader goal of progress of the party. At present Fadnavis’s name is in discussion for BJP President.
Amidst the discussions, Muralidhar Mohol has rejected all the news on X. He said that my name is being discussed continuously on social media for the post of Chief Minister of Maharashtra, which is not true news. We fought under the leadership of BJP. Our leader is Devendra Fadnavis. The decisions of our party are not taken through social media, but by consensus in the parliamentary board. Once the decision is taken in the Parliamentary Board, the final decision of the party is supreme for all. Therefore discussing my name on social media is meaningless.
