Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis has confirmed that he has been asked to continue to work in the government instead of quitting, in view of the party’s dropped strength in the Lok Sabha polls.

Fadnavis addressed the party legislators on Saturday in Mumbai and explained to them the reasons for the defeat, for which he had taken sole responsibility. However, the MLAs and MLCs and office-bearers tabled a resolution asking him to withdraw his offer to quit.
