Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Deputy Chief Minister.
Devendra Fadnavis became the Deputy Chief Minister of the state of Maharashtra on 30th June 2022. A senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Fadnavis had previously served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra from 2014 to 2019. His appointment as Deputy CM came after a major political shift in the state, where Eknath Shinde became the Chief Minister with the support of the BJP. Despite expectations that Fadnavis would lead the government again, he accepted the deputy role in the interest of political stability. His experience continues to play a key role in state governance.
