Headline: Maharashtra CM and Deputy CM Visit RSS Founder’s Memorial, Sparks Debate as NCP Deputy CM Skips Event
Nagpur, Maharashtra – December 14, 2025 – Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with other legislators from the ruling BJP and Shiv Sena, visited the memorial of RSS founder K.B. Hedgewar in Nagpur on Sunday. The visit, a repeat of a similar pilgrimage last year, saw tributes paid to Hedgewar and M.S. Golwalkar, the second Sanghchalak, at the Smruti Mandir in Reshimbagh. State legislative assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar, council chairperson Ram Shinde, and numerous other BJP and Shiv Sena legislators were also present.
However, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, representing the NCP, a key member of the ruling Mahayuti coalition, notably skipped the event, mirroring his absence from last year’s visit. This has fueled speculation and debate about the coalition’s internal dynamics. The visit coincides with the ongoing winter session of the Maharashtra legislature in Nagpur.
