Fadnavis Plays Down Thackeray Meet, Maharashtra Govt. Stable, He Insists
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis downplayed his meeting with former CM Uddhav Thackeray on Friday, July 18, 2025. He stressed the current government’s stability, highlighting the support of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar.
The meeting, ostensibly focused on Marathi language issues, fuelled further speculation about political realignments in the state. Fadnavis reiterated his earlier invitation to Thackeray, an offer that had previously generated considerable buzz.
While the official narrative centers on linguistic concerns, the closed-door discussion between the two prominent leaders has inevitably reignited political conjecture. The stability of the ruling coalition remains a key focus amidst ongoing power dynamics.
This development holds significant implications for the upcoming local body elections and the broader political landscape of Maharashtra. The ongoing power play could significantly impact the state’s governance and development agenda.
