'Of course, he will become CM,' says Fadnavis' mother
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' mother, Sarita Fadnavis said that his son has worked "24/7" and said that he will definitely become the next CM of the state.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Sarita said, "Of course, he will become the CM. It is a big day as my son has become a big leader in the state. He was working hard at all 24 hours."
