According to informed sources, who didn't wish to be named, Fadnavis has been given a heads-up that he may be asked to step down as CM after the Bihar elections. "The message has been conveyed but there is no discussion yet on his future role. He is likely to be considered for the BJP chief post. He is young, has the support of the RSS and the confidence of the party leadership," said sources.
