Devendra Fadnavis, famously resilient and strategically astute, is expected to serve as Maharashtra's Chief Minister for a third time. His political journey began humbly, climbing from a municipal corporator to the state's highest office, solidifying his status as a persistent force within the BJP.

Fadnavis has drawn national admiration, aided by endorsements from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP figure Amit Shah. His noteworthy track record includes advancing governance, especially in urban infrastructure, while effectively navigating political challenges, including handling demands from Maharashtra's Maratha community and setbacks in alliance formations.

Unexpected twists, like the 2019 loss of the Chief Ministership, haven't deterred Fadnavis. He remained a central actor, taking on the Deputy CM role amidst a shifting political landscape. His dedication and adaptability continue to shape not only his career but also Maharashtra's political future.
