Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday dismissed reports of a dispute with Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, calling them “manufactured news".

In an interview with CNN-News18, Fadnavis dismissed any speculation of a rift, stressing that all three ruling Mahayuti parties in the state are working together for the progress of Maharashtra.

When asked about his relations with the opposition, Fadnavis acknowledged that Maharashtra politics had seen challenging moments, where he and his government were targeted. However, he made it clear that his aim was not revenge but change.

“When I came to power, I said I have not come for ‘badla’ (revenge), I have come for ‘badlav’ (change). My focus has always been on development," Maharashtra CM noted.
