Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said he would never forget his 72-hour tenure in 2019 in the top post, reported news agency PTI.

"I haven't become the chief minister for the second time, but the third. I cannot forget taking the CM's post early in the morning, even if you all forget," Fadnavis said after inaugurating a coffee table book on Ahilyabai Holkar, whose 300th birth anniversary will be celebrated on May 31, reported PTI.

The legendary Indore queen, known for good governance and social reforms, was born at Chaundi under Jamkhed taluka of present-day Ahilyanagar district (formerly Ahmednagar) in western Maharashtra.
