The Pradhan Sevak will be in Maximum City on Thursday, January 19, to inaugurate a couple of Metro projects, so Maharashtra CM Eknath Shambhaji Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Gangadharrao Fadnavis have got cracking, plastering Mr Modi's route into the city with huge cutouts of the man himself, themselves (but of course!) and the late Shiv Sena supremo, who ESS always highlights is his political mentor (take that Uddhav!).
