Hours after Devendra Fadnavis's resignation as former Maharashtra chief minister, his wife Amruta Fadnavis tweeted a poetic verse. "Will return and bring back fragrance on branches, it's autumn season, wait for the change in weather," she tweeted in Hindi. Amruta further thanked the people of Maharashtra for what she described "memorable five years".
"Thanks Mah (Maharashtra) for memorable five years as your Vahini (sister-in-law)!The love showered by you will always make me nostalgic! I tried to perform my role to best of my abilities-with desire only to serve and make a positive difference," she added.
Fadnavis, who was asked to prove majority by the Supreme Court, quit as Maharashtra chief minister just three days after forming government with the help NCP rebel Ajit Pawar. The resignation of Fadnavis came hours after his deputy Ajit Pawar quit the post even without formally taking charge.
"We don't have majority after Ajit Pawar's resignation as Dy CM," Fadnavis said. "I will be submitting my resignation to the governor after this media briefing," he said. Ajit Pawar had gone against his uncle and NCP chief Sharad Pawar in supporting the BJP but most of his party MLAs opposed his unilateral decision and supported the Shiv Sena-led alliance.
Announcing his resignation, Fadnavis said the BJP will not indulge in horse-trading and become the voice of the people as a responsible opposition. "We had decided that we will never indulge in horse trading, that we will never try to break away any MLA. Those who said that we indulge in horse trading bought the entire horse stable," he said.
