Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and opposition leaders are often seen engaging in spirited debates in the state assembly, with Fadnavis adeptly answering tough questions from his critics. Today, this dynamic interaction will take center stage at the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year award 2025, where Fadnavis will be interviewed by senior NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil. The interview is set to be one of the event's major highlights, as these two seasoned political figures, known for their commanding presence in Maharashtra's legislature, come face-to-face.

Given the reputation of Patil, known for asking tough questions in the legislature, it will be intriguing to see what challenging questions he poses to Fadnavis during this interview.
