The Class V student of J B Petit High School, Drishti Harchandra was apparently keen on writing an article on the chief minister ever since she heard about the swearing-in ceremony.

For 11-year-old Drishti Harchandrai, a 90-minute wait outside Sahyadri, the state government’s guesthouse, and a handwritten note with two hearts drawn on it was all it took to not only meet the newly appointed chief minister Devendra Fadnavis but also interview him on Sunday.

The Class V student of J B Petit High School was apparently keen on writing an article on the chief minister ever since she heard about the swearing-in ceremony at Wankhede Stadium on Friday. Her mother’s casual comment that he would be their new neighbour in Malabar Hill heightened her sense of excitement.

So, on Sunday afternoon, she tagged along with a close family friend across the street to Sahyadri and requested the security persons to allow her inside. When the security guards told her he was in a meeting and refused to let her in even after an-hour-and-a-half, she wrote the new CM a note: “When you get my letter, please call on my cell no. Or send someone to the address below to tell that you are officially calling me in.”

Drishti, in her note, made a special request to the CM to not ignore her letter. And to her excitement, Fadnavis eventually personally invited her for an interview at his home.

“His residence is visible from my flat and I really wanted to write an article on him for my school. I thought about giving it a try,” said Drishti, who also aspires to become the prime minister of the country.
