High-level pomp marked Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan’s arrival in Mumbai on Saturday, with Maharashtra’s leadership out in full force. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Governor Jishnu Dev Verma greeted him at the airport, offering flowers and warm words.
The red-carpet treatment at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport flowed seamlessly into a formal Guard of Honour at Lok Bhavan. Skill Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha and other dignitaries added to the star-studded welcome.
This Mumbai stop follows a meaningful engagement in Nagpur. The Vice President first honored RSS founder Dr. Hedgewar at his memorial, then elevated the 29th Indian Youth Parliament National Session.
Youth vibrancy shone through, as Radhakrishnan commended the Trust’s two-decade legacy in uniting sectors for national unity. His speech on linguistic diversity struck a chord: India’s multilingual heritage is a superpower, demanding preservation and pride.
‘Link your mother tongue to cultural roots and patriotism,’ he exhorted the young attendees, tying it to the vision of a developed India by 2047. Governor Verma and Revenue Minister Bawankule witnessed the inspiring address amid an atmosphere of solemn enthusiasm.
Radhakrishnan’s tour exemplifies leadership’s commitment to youth empowerment and cultural preservation, signaling robust state-center synergy in Maharashtra’s political landscape.
