Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership at the India Today Conclave, arguing that age does not deter Modi's capacity to lead the nation. Fadnavis further criticized Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, claiming he is irrelevant to Gen Z and lacks resonance with the youth of India.
