    "articleBody": "Talks have intensified about Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis joining the central government. BJP leader Pankaja Munde said that no such decision can be made without the approval of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or Prime Minister Narendra Modi.\n\nSpeaking to reporters at Kolhapur airport, Pankaja Munde said that Fadnavis is an influential and academically strong leader. She said, \"I can only pray that he moves beyond his current position. However, right now he is needed where he is.\"\n\nThis statement came in response to Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut's claim that Prime Minister Modi wants to include Fadnavis in the central cabinet. Raut claimed that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is supporting a major change in the country's politics and plans to call Fadnavis to Delhi for the post of Deputy Prime Minister.\n\nSanjay Raut said, \"History is witness that no former Home Minister has ever become Prime Minister.\" He also said that the 'saffron family' is preparing to make a prominent leader from outside Delhi Modi's political successor, and Fadnavis is at the forefront.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nफडणवीस के मोदी कैबिनेट में शामिल होने की अटकलें जारी\nबेल्जियम के प्रधानमंत्री ने पीएम मोदी को चॉकलेट इंडिया गेट भेंट किया\nPurification Controversy in Haldwani Reaches High Court\nदेशभरात जन्माष्टमीचा उत्साह, इसरोने EOS-05 उपग्रह प्रक्षेपित केला\n\nPankaja Munde also spoke about the ongoing fast by Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange. She said the government has formed a committee of ministers headed by Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil to negotiate with Jarange.\n\nJarange demands that caste certificates be issued to Marathas whose Kunbi records have been found and that the provisions present in the Kolhapur, Satara, and Mumbai gazetteers be implemented to recognize Marathas as Kunbi.\n\nPankaja Munde held a review meeting with officials, discussing measures to tackle pollution in the Panchganga river.\n\nThe Maharashtra government is making efforts to fulfill these demands within the constitutional framework.\n\nAccording to sources, several senior ministers of the ruling party have given an ultimatum to the leadership regarding a possible reshuffle in the cabinet.",
