CM sitting here, says Fadnavis at Mahayuti presser, asks MVA to declare its leader
Mumbai, Oct 16: Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said the NCP(SP) leader Sharad Pawar should declare the chief ministerial candidate of the Opposition's Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance first.
Holding a joint press conference with the `Mahayuti' allies Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, he said the ruling parties were not bothered about the CM face ahead of the November 20 elections to the state assembly.
The BJP leader was responding to the question who was the CM candidate of the Shiv Sena-BJP-NCP alliance.
With Chief Minister Shinde sitting next to him along with deputy CM and NCP chief Ajit Pawar, Fadnavis said, "The chief minister is sitting here. Ask them (Opposition) who is your face. First declare your face. I urge (Sharad) Pawar saheb to declare their CM face."
Shinde said no one in the ruling alliance was desperate to get the top post.
"The work done by our government in the last more than two years is our face," he said.

Will impose 25 per cent tariff on all imports from Canada, Mexico: Trump
Washington (PTI): US President-elect Donald Trump has said that he will impose a 25 per cent tariff on every product coming from Canada and Mexico as one of his first actions after assuming office on January 20.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, he said the tariff would remain in place till the time borders with Mexico and Canada are closed to prevent illegal immigration into the US.
"As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now, a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border,” Trump said.
"On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders.
"This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem," he said.
"We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price," Trump said.
