Riteish Deshmukh Vs Ravindra Chavan: Actor Responds To Maharashtra BJP Chief’s Controversial Remarks On Late Father Vilasrao Deshmukh: ‘You Cannot Erase…’

The Congress fired off a statement from Mumbai, firmly saying nobody can erase Vilasrao Deshmukh’s memory from Latur. According to them, plenty of people have tried before, but the people of Latur always push back.

Congress leaders pointed out that Deshmukh put Latur on the national map and spent his life working for the area. They slammed BJP leaders for what they called careless, disrespectful remarks, seeing it as arrogance from those in power.

They didn’t stop there. Congress questioned whether BJP leaders even understood what Vilasrao Deshmukh meant to Latur, insisting these critics had no idea about the bond he shared with the city.

The party warned that Latur wouldn’t stand for any insult to their “capable and illustrious son,” promising a strong answer at the right time.

Vilasrao Deshmukh served as Maharashtra’s Chief Minister twice, and people in Latur still talk about everything he did for their city.

Maharashtra BJP Chief Ravindra Chavan apologises 

With criticism piling up, Ravindra Chavan tried to clear things up.  He apologised, saying, “These local elections should be about civic amenities, who can solve those problems faster. I never criticised Vilasrao Deshmukh.

But Congress keeps asking for votes in his name. Still, if Riteish’s feelings are hurt, he’s a good friend, I apologise. Don’t see my statement as political.”
