Speaking on the occasion, Governor Radhakrishnan noted that the book presents a rich and vivid portrayal of Devendraji’s multifaceted contributions to Maharashtra, India, and the global arena. It chronicles not just his political milestones but the personal values that shaped his leadership – values deeply rooted in the ethos of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), instilled in him from childhood.

He applauded initiatives of Fadnavis such as Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan, Samruddhi Mahamarg, Right to Services Act and Aaple Sarkar grievance redressal mechanism
The Governor said under the leadership of Fadnavis, Maharashtra became India’s top FDI destination, attracting nearly half the nation’s total foreign investment that year. His vision also brought to life landmark infrastructure projects such as the Mumbai Metro expansion, the Atal Setu sea bridge, and numerous PPP-driven urban and rural initiatives.
He also praised Fadnavis leadership in starting three game-changing projects like the Deep Sea Port at Wadhwan, Navi Mumbai International Airport,and transforming Gadchiroli, once a symbol of backwardness and left wing extremism, into the Steel District of India.
The Governor also extended his birthday wishes to Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
The Governor expressed the hope that Maharashtra will become a 3 trillion dollar economy and achieve all inclusive progress by 2047 under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis.
