The transport minister highlighted that Marathi is more than a means of communication; it is the soul of Maharashtra's identity and culture. He expressed a heartfelt desire for every person earning a livelihood in the state to honor the language.
According to Saranik, using Marathi while interacting with passengers not only smooths daily conversations but also strengthens bonds of affection among people. He noted that after Marathi received classical language status, the campaign received overwhelming positive feedback from the non‑Marathi driver community.
