MUMBAI: Maharashtra's chief minister elect Devendra Fadnavis Tuesday pledged to provide good governance to the state -- a la Narendra Modi.

Speaking in Marathi and Hindi as supporters went wild celebrating his elevation, Fadnavis credited the BJP's performance in the assembly polls to Modi, party president Amit Shah and other party colleagues.
