Fadnavis Is Now 'Modern Abhimanyu':From "Comeback" Speech To Actual Comeback

With the BJP-led Mahayuti scoring a massive victory in the Maharashtra Assembly election, senior party leader and incumbent Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reiterated that he is a "modern Abhimanyu who knows how to break the Chakravyuh". The reference was to Abhimanyu, a character in epic Mahabharata. The son of Arjuna and Subdhadra, he was a warrior who knew how to enter the Chakravyuh, a maze-like military formation, but did not know how to exit it. In the epic, he was trapped and killed by Kaurava fighters. Earlier, in September, Mr Fadnavis had said that the Opposition bloc Maha Vikas Aghadi thinks that they will trap him in a maze. "But I am a modern Abhimanyu. I know how to get into the maze and how to exit."
