Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated on Thursday that the trio of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, and himself form an unbeatable combination due to their effective "working style."

In response to NCP founder Sharad Pawar's claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's declaration of returning to hoist the national flag at the Red Fort next year was influenced by Fadnavis, the latter took a subtle jab. Fadnavis asserted that the Prime Minister will address the nation from the Red Fort next year, as the entire country stands united with him.

Addressing a 'shasan aplya daari' event in Shirdi, Fadnavis remarked, "The three of us have joined forces. You're familiar with Shindeji's way of working, as well as mine and Ajit Dada's. Our collaboration presents an unchallenged synergy." "The opposition claims that both deputy chief ministers have their sights on the chief minister's position. Yes, we are eyeing it to safeguard it from any ill intentions," Fadnavis quipped.
