| Devendra Fadnavis (44) is the newly elected Chief Minister of one of India's largest states, Maharashtra, and the first person from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to hold this post. He is a law graduate and holds an MBA degree as well. He is married to Amruta Ranade Fadnavis, a senior bank manager and the couple have a five-year-old daughter. Mr. Fadnavis wrote this piece exclusively for ndtv.com)
On being elected the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, everyone has been asking me on what my plans are for the state and how I plan to tackle the challenges that the state faces. It is indeed a huge challenge and we have a vision with which we will drive our state to regain its past glory and its number 1 position. Helping fulfill the aspirations of 11 crore 20 lakh people is my primary goal.
I will focus on restoring governance. Governance deficit, policy paralysis, decision paralysis and implementation paralysis has cost Maharashtra dear. We will establish a government which is transparent and efficient. I believe in being assertive rather than unfound aggression. I may be soft spoken but when it comes to administration I will be firm and ruthless. When I met Honourable PM Shri. Modiji a day before my swearing in, he gave me a "Guru Mantra". He asked me not to worry about saving the government rather focus my energies on working for the people, for their well-being. When this will happen, people will themselves work to ensure my government stays in power for long. I do not indulge in crass politics/political games, I believe in directly connecting with the people, working with a strong conviction and delivering to promises.
One of the most frequently asked questions is how I am going to tackle corruption. People ask me if I am going to take action and send those who have engaged in corruption to jail. My answer is, there is going to be action but I am not going to name anyone after becoming Chief Minister as that can be used as a defense in court.
