Bhujbal's Induction: Fadnavis and Others Pushed for Inclusion
Imagine the government is like a team, and Chhagan Bhujbal recently rejoined the team.
He says the leader of the team, Mr. Fadnavis, wanted him in the team earlier, even last year.
Other important people in the government also wanted him in.
