Next Maharashtra Chief Minister will be from Shiv Sena, declares Saamana

Mumbai: Devendra Fadnavis Wednesday became the first serving chief minister of Maharashtra from outside the Shiv Sena to attend the Uddhav Thackeray-led party's foundation day function.

Fadnavis' presence at the event was significant as it indicated his continuing good equation with Thackeray, especially when state elections are around the corner.

Thackeray had last week extended a personal invitation to Fadnavis to attend the Sena's 53rd foundation day function.
