At the same time, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that in 2019 the PM had said here that the double engine government changed Maharashtra and said that the government should be brought back to power. By trusting you, the people brought back the government, but some people indulged in hooliganism, and for 2.5 years, there was a government that the people did not like.
But the true follower of Balasaheb Thackeray, Eknath Shinde showed courage & with your blessings, a Govt of the liking of the people came to Maharashtra once again.
