Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly appreciated Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's gesture of celebrating Diwali with farmers in Lohari Sawanga village, Narkhed, Nagpur. Fadnavis spent the festival with farmers and stayed at the residence of Arunabai and Rambhau Balpande during his visit. The Prime Minister characterized this as a "touching gesture" that underscores the spirit of compassion with which the NDA Government in Maharashtra is working for farmers and ensuring their well-being. Modi shared his appreciation through a post on X (formerly Twitter) on November 8, 2026, which was subsequently republished by the Prime Minister's Office through the Press Information Bureau.
