Modi will win third term with `bumper majority’, says Fadnavis

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said people in the country have already decided to give another term to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Talking to reporters at his residence here on the occasion of Diwali, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader also dismissed speculation that he himself might contest the Lok Sabha elections next year. “People have already made up their minds to give Modi a third term with a bumper majority in the 2024 general elections. No matter how hard anybody tries, people will not change their minds,” Fadnavis said. Asked about speculation that he could contest the Lok Sabha elections, Fadnavis said he will be contesting the next year’s Maharashtra assembly polls from Nagpur. He currently represents the Nagpur South-West assembly seat. To the question where he saw himself in the next ten years, Fadnavis, a former chief minister, said he will remain with the BJP and carry out whatever responsibility the party assigns to him. @@@@
