Ritesh Deshmukh: Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh was seen campaigning for the Maharashtra Assembly elections to be held on November 20. The actor campaigned for his brother and Congress leader Dheeraj Deshmukh in Latur. While campaigning for Congress, Ritesh said that people are claiming that his religion is in danger, but in reality his party is in danger and he is praying to save his party.
We will take care of our religion, you talk about development first: Ritesh
Dheeraj is contesting against BJP's Ramesh Karad on Latur seat. Addressing a rally on Sunday night, he said that Lord Krishna had said that karma is religion. The person who works honestly follows his religion. One who does not work honestly needs the cover of religion. Those who say that their religion is in danger, in fact their party is in danger and they are putting their religion ahead to save their party and themselves. Tell them that we will take care of our religion, you talk about development first.
Maharashtra government also targeted
While addressing the rally, the actor also targeted the Maharashtra government. In this regard, Ritesh said that the educated youth of the state are unemployed. It is the responsibility of the state government to provide them employment. Along with this, the actor also targeted the government for not giving good prices to the farmers for their products.
Dheeraj Deshmukh won the election by 1.21 lakh votes
Referring to Dheeraj Deshmukh's victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections in 2019 by a margin of 1.21 lakh votes, Ritesh appealed to the people to vote in such large numbers that the deposit of the opposing candidate would be forfeited. Ritesh also explained to the youth the importance of their vote. Along with this the actor stressed on the need to protect the identity of Maharashtra and the dignity and rights of every citizen.
