Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Saturday said she wanted her husband to "stay" in Maharashtra, amid speculation over the BJP leader's future political role.

Speaking to reporters after performing the Ashadhi Ekadashi puja at the Shri Vitthal Temple in Pandharpur, Amruta Fadnavis also said protests over the alleged examination paper leak were justified as long as they remained focused on the issue, while stressing that the government was taking corrective steps to prevent such incidents.
