Fadnavis says he is quitting

Within 24 hours of the Lok Sabha election results being declared there were first signs of commotion in Maharashtra politics. On Wednesday, visibly upset over the poor performance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced his resignation from government.

"I have requested my top bosses to relieve me from government responsibilities and permit me to work exclusively for the party organisation." he revealed at a presser in the state party headquarters at Nariman Point. Interestingly, it is not clear to whom he has sent in his papers. Certainly not to the governor.
