Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and discussed development projects and other issues concerning the state.
The meeting comes as the Maharashtra government continues to pursue infrastructure and development projects requiring coordination between the state and central governments. Fadnavis said he briefed Modi on the progress of several projects and sought the Centre's support for initiatives being implemented jointly by the two governments.
The Prime Minister's Office confirmed the meeting in a post on X.
"Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri @Dev_Fadnavis met Prime Minister @narendramodi," the Prime Minister's Office said on X. Following the meeting, Fadnavis said he made a detailed presentation to Modi on various development projects in Maharashtra. He also sought greater cooperation from the central government for schemes and projects being implemented in coordination with the state.
Fadnavis said the discussions covered various issues related to Maharashtra and the progress of development projects.
The chief minister said he requested additional support from the central government for projects being implemented jointly by the Centre and Maharashtra.
"I called on and met our global leader, Nation's beloved PM Narendra Modi Ji in New Delhi today. We had a detailed discussion on various topics. I briefed him on progress of numerous developmental projects and requested for more support from GoI on the joint Centre-State projects. As always, meeting our PM Sir was motivating and it invokes positive energy. I'm ever grateful to Him for the perpetual and precious guidance on developmental issues and for the strong support to Maharashtra!" Devendra Fadnavis said on X.
The meeting provided an opportunity for the state government to seek the Centre's involvement in projects where approvals, funding or coordination between central and state agencies are required.
Fadnavis also shared another post on X outlining the discussions with the prime minister. He said information about several development projects in Maharashtra was presented during the meeting and that he sought cooperation on schemes being implemented in coordination with the central government.
Several large infrastructure and development initiatives in Maharashtra involve coordination between state departments and central ministries or agencies. Such projects can require clearances, funding support and administrative coordination at multiple levels.
Fadnavis's meeting with Modi is expected to help the state government raise these requirements directly with the Centre as it works on its development agenda.
The chief minister said he was grateful to Modi for his guidance on development-related issues and for the support extended to Maharashtra.
Maharashtra has been pursuing multiple infrastructure projects covering transport, urban development and other sectors. The state government has been seeking greater coordination with the Centre for projects that involve both levels of government.
The meeting between Fadnavis and Modi was focused on these development-related matters, with the chief minister presenting details of ongoing projects and seeking further cooperation.
