Mumbai: Early this week, Maharashtra Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan released, at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai, a Coffee Table Book, ‘Maharashtra Mahanayak’, chronicling the life of the State Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Conceptualised by Girish Mahajan, Minister of Water Resources and Disaster Management, the book encapsulates Fadnavis’s journey from a young public servant to a statesman of national stature.

Speaking on the occasion, Governor Radhakrishnan noted that the book depicted a vivid portrayal of the Chief Minister’s contributions to Maharashtra, India and the global arena. It presents not just his political milestones but the personal values that shaped his leadership – values deeply rooted in the ethos of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), instilled in him from childhood.

He also highlighted the legacy of selfless service that Fadnavis inherited from his father, the late Gangadharrao Fadnavis, and his aunt Shobhatai Fadnavis.

The Governor reminded that throughout his public life, Fadnavis demonstrated consistent and visionary leadership, guiding Maharashtra through some of its most progressive reforms. He applauded initiatives of Fadnavis, including Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan, Samruddhi Mahamarg, Right to Services Act and Aaple Sarkar grievance redressal mechanism.

Additionally, the Governor stressed that under the leadership of Fadnavis, Maharashtra became India’s top FDI destination, attracting nearly half the nation’s total foreign investment in a year. His vision also brought to life landmark infrastructure projects such as the Mumbai Metro expansion, the Atal Setu sea bridge, and numerous PPP-driven urban and rural initiatives.

He also praised Fadnavis’ leadership in starting three game-changing projects like the Deep Sea Port at Wadhwan, Navi Mumbai International Airport, and transforming Gadchiroli, once a symbol of backwardness and left-wing extremism, into the Steel District of India.

The Governor expressed the hope that Maharashtra will become a 3 trillion dollar economy and achieve all-inclusive progress by 2047 under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis.

Speaker Rahul Narwekar, Minister Girish Mahajan, Minister of Skill Development Mangal Prabhat Loadha, MLAs Kalidas Kolambkar, Yogesh Sagar and others were present at the Coffee Table Book release.
