He claimed that leaders of the grand old party are not able to forsee the revival of their party in the future, and because of this everyone wants to join the BJP. 


Praising PM Modi, Fadnavis said: "When pople see that how PM Modi is leading the nation to the progress, and what others thought to be a "jumla", has now taken the shape of reality as a lot of people are able to experience the "Naya Bharat" (New India). Due to this very reason, a lot of congress leaders think that it is time to be a part of the mainstream. And those who are trying to join in the movement, we are taking them along."


Fadnavis, Maharashtra's current Deputy Chief Minister, is the second-youngest person in the state to become Chief Minister.
