Latur
At the Latur International Film Festival's inauguration on Friday, Congress MLA Amit Deshmukh responded to a lighthearted remark from NCP MLC Vikram Kale, who urged him to switch sides for ministerial continuity. Deshmukh emphasized that balance is crucial in democracy, stating, If everyone joins the ruling party, the system will lose its equilibrium. We must uphold our role in the opposition.
The festival, organized by the Vilasrao Deshmukh Foundation in partnership with the Pune Film Foundation and Maharashtra government, highlighted cultural and educational contributions to Latur.
State Minister Babasaheb Patil assured that development in Latur would continue beyond political divides. He praised Deshmukh’s commitment to his late father Vilasrao Deshmukh’s legacy and pledged full cooperation to sustain the district’s growth in culture, education, and sports, regardless of party differences.
