A political dispute has arisen in Maharashtra due to remarks made by state BJP President Ravindra Chavan regarding the late former Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh. Chavan’s comments, made during a campaign for the upcoming municipal corporation elections, have sparked strong criticism from the Deshmukh family and the Congress party, leading to Chavan offering an apology.
During a rally in Latur, a stronghold of the Deshmukh family, Chavan expressed confidence that Vilasrao Deshmukh’s memories would fade from the city due to the BJP’s growing influence, causing immediate backlash across the political spectrum.
The Deshmukh family, including Congress MLA Amit Deshmukh and actor Riteish Deshmukh, condemned Chavan’s remarks as disrespectful and emphasized that Vilasrao Deshmukh’s legacy is deeply ingrained in people’s hearts and cannot be erased with mere words.
