Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the memorial of Dr. K.B. Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), in Nagpur on Thursday morning, where they paid their respects. The visit to the memorial was a part of their day’s schedule as both leaders took a moment to honour Dr. Hedgewar's contributions to the RSS and the country.

In addition to paying tribute to the RSS founder, Fadnavis and Shinde also paid their respects at the memorial of Dr. M.S. Golwalkar, the second Sarsanghchalak (chief) of the RSS, who played a pivotal role in the organisation’s growth. The two leaders were accompanied by a number of prominent BJP and Shiv Sena figures, including Maharashtra State Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar and Neelam Gorhe, the Deputy Chairperson of the state council. Several other legislators from both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction also participated in the tribute ceremony, underscoring their respect for the RSS leaders.
