Kolhapur/Raigad, June 27 -- State Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is a clever leader and understands the danger of a treacherous friend.

Shinde, who was on a brief visit to Raigad to attend the 353rd Shivrajyabhishek din, while talking to reporters, reacted to recent speculation on a so-called meeting of Uddhav Thackeray and Fadnavis on a flight while on way to Nagpur.

He stated, "Loyalty (Iman) is more important than taking a flight".
