The sources further said that Mr.Devendra Fadnavis was asked to reconsider his decision after he made the announcement.
The sources also said,” Mr. Fadnavis has been a top administrator and an upright leader therefore he would be a huge addition to the government, and the moment the party realized that he had made a surprise announcement he was asked to reconsider his decision within a couple of hours.”
