Former Maharashtra chief minister and opposition leader, Devendra Fadnavis will team up with senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to create a strategy for the Bihar Assembly polls, which will be held later this year. Fadnavis has campaigned for the party in the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in other states before becoming the CM and after assuming the top office in 2014.

This time around, he will be seen in a national role of prominence, most probably as the election in-charge, in the state where the BJP has been ruling with CM Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal. Beginning his national performance, he is reported to have participated in a meeting of Bihar-related poll issues on Thursday. The announcement of Fadnavis's appointment is expected to be made in the coming days.
