Handling Eknath Shinde Is Easy, Uddhav Is Unpredictable: CM Devendra Fadnavis

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has firmly dismissed speculation of tension within the Mahayuti alliance, saying there is "no suffocation" among its leaders. Responding to questions on Eknath Shinde's frequent Delhi visits, Fadnavis told NDTV that the alliance has moved beyond the "scooter phase" and has ample space for all partners. Calling reports of discord exaggerated, he said Shinde's meetings in Delhi are routine and often personal. Fadnavis also remarked that while Shinde is emotional and easy to work with, Uddhav Thackeray remains unpredictable.
