New Delhi, Dec 02: BJP leader, Anantkumar Hegde has claimed that the Devendra Fadnavis became the chief minister for 80 hours in order to divert Rs 40,000 crore funds back to the Centre.

A CM has access to Rs 40,000 crore funds from the Centre. Fadnavis knew if the NCP-Congress and Shiv Sena government comes to power, the funds would be misused. Hence it was decided that there must be drama and Fadnavis became the CM. In 15 hours, he moved the funds back t the Centre, Hegde also said according to a report by news agency ANI.

Last week Fadnavis resigned as CM after his government lost majority following Dy CM Ajit Pawar quitting his post.

Ajit Pawar had supported BJP as leader of the 54- member NCP legislature party and with his resignation earlier in the day, the government has lost majority, he said.
