Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde celebrated the Diwali festival by visiting a farmer's home in Bhilpuri village of Jalna district. According to a report by Amar Ujala, Shinde spent time with the family of a farmer named Ambardas Tangade and enjoyed the traditional meal of pithla-bhakri with them.

During this visit, the Deputy Chief Minister learned about the poverty and hardships of the farmer's family. Seeing the very weak economic condition of the Tangade family, Eknath Shinde decided to help them. Notably, the daughter of this family aspires to become a police officer, for which Shiv Sena has announced that it will take full responsibility for her education and marriage.

Discussing the situation in Jalna, Eknath Shinde stated that the condition here is extremely serious. He said that many people are suffering due to the drought and the current situation has become like a drought. He emphasized that in such difficult times, it is the moral responsibility of the government and Shiv Sena to help the victims. He assured that the government stands firmly with the farmers.

Providing information regarding the financial assistance being given to farmers, Shinde stated that the government had decided to provide immediate financial assistance of ₹5,000 to the farmers, and this amount was deposited into the farmers' accounts before Diwali itself. Additionally, he further added that once the drought is officially declared, affected farmers will be provided with appropriate compensation.

The Deputy Chief Minister clarified that the Central Government, State Government, and Shiv Sena are all working together for the welfare of the farmers. Referring to the poverty of the Tangade family, he stated that Shiv Sena will take all responsibilities to realize their daughter's dreams so that she can become a police officer.

Through this visit, Eknath Shinde expressed sympathy towards the farmers of the drought-affected area and demonstrated commitment to swift relief operations by the administration. He assured the farmers that the government will remain constantly striving to resolve their difficulties.
