Maharashtra CM Fadnavis dismisses Union cabinet shift speculation

Devendra Fadnavis is the leader in charge of a big state in India called Maharashtra.

Some people were guessing that he might get a new job in the national government in Delhi.

That job would be in the Union cabinet, which helps run the whole country.

Mr. Fadnavis said those guesses are not true.

He said people can keep guessing, like floating balloons or flying kites.

He said he is in Maharashtra and will stay there.

He had just met the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, in New Delhi.

Mr. Fadnavis said the people of Maharashtra and the Prime Minister gave him the job of taking care of Maharashtra.

He said he is doing his job honestly.

So he wants everyone to know he is not leaving.
