Nagpur is the stronghold of Fadnavis.
For Fadnavis, Nagpur is considered their stronghold. He became a councilor at the age of just 22 and then the mayor of Nagpur at the age of 27. Fadnavis was first elected MLA from Nagpur Assembly in 1999. Now it is to be seen how hard the profligates who once fought against Fadnavis can fight back. When the name of Prafla Gadhe from Nagpur South West came up for discussion, he said that despite Devendra Fadnavis being the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, the people of the assembly constituency want accountability.
