NAGPUR: Days after Opposition leaders such as Sharad Pawar and Rahul Gandhi visited Beed and Parbhani after the murder of a sarpanch and the custodial death of an aspiring lawyer, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said his government’s response and actions were more important than symbolic visits. “I do not believe in promoting tragedy tourism,” he said.In his first comprehensive media interaction in Nagpur since taking the oath as chief minister earlier this month, Fadnavis addressed questions about both the controversial incidents, which occurred shortly after he assumed office. The Shiv Sena (UBT) had criticised Fadnavis for not visiting the districts after the incidents.
“Both incidents are extremely serious. What matters is the swift action taken by my government. While I was occupied with the winter session, deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar visited the victims’ families,” said Fadnavis.
The chief minister highlighted the historic mandate received by the Mahayuti government in the recently concluded assembly elections and acknowledged the public’s heightened expectations. “With my constructive politics, I am prepared for all challenges. We will deliver on our promises and work for the state’s overall and balanced development,” he said.
