Mumbai: Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday changed his Twitter bio to ‘Maharashtra’s Sevak’ (Maharashtra’s servant).

As chief minister, Fadnavis very often used his Twitter handle @Dev_Fadnavis for official communication.

He resigned on November 8 after the BJP failed to work out power-sharing deal with ally Shiv Sena despite the two parties winning a majority in the last month’s assembly polls.

Fadnavis, 49, is the second chief minister of Maharashtra after Congress leader Vasantrao Naik to complete a full term.

The BJP leader had changed his Twitter ‘bio’ from ‘Chief Minister of Maharashtra’ to ‘caretaking chief minister’ last week when the BJP announced that it was in no position to form government.

The state was put under President’s rule on Tuesday.
