✦ Context & Governance Notes
Fadnavis served as CM from 2014–19 and briefly in 2022. In the November 2024 Maharashtra elections, the Mahayuti alliance (BJP-Shiv Sena Shinde-NCP Ajit) won a landslide 230 of 288 seats, ending the MVA alliance government. He has focused on infrastructure megaprojects (Nagpur metro, Mumbai coastal road, Pune ring road). Critics point to Maharashtra's high farmer-distress rates and pendency of MSRDC-related debt.
