Memorials in Nagpur & Wardha to honour legacy of Datta Meghe Union minister Nitin Gadkari and chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Saturday that memorials will be constructed in Nagpur and Wardha to honor the legacy of former minister Datta Meghe, a revered leader known for his compassion and dedication to social upliftment. The announcement was made during a condolence meeting held at VCA Jamtha, where political leaders from various parties gathered to pay tribute to Meghe, affectionately called “Dattabhau.” The event brought together ministers, legislators, former public representatives, members of the Meghe family, including his sons MLA Sameer and Sagar, mayor Neeta Thakre, labour minister Akash Fundkar, and several other prominent figures. Gadkari, who described Meghe as “a rare personality in politics,” recounted the leader’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming a pillar of support for thousands. He shared a personal story about a vegetable vendor’s son diagnosed with cancer, who could not afford treatment. After recovering, the boy sought education, and Meghe ensured his admission to an engineering program. Gadkari highlighted that the boy, now an MTech graduate and professor, exemplified Meghe’s generosity. “There are countless such stories that reflect his selflessness,” Gadkari said, emphasizing how Meghe’s actions transformed lives. Chief minister Fadnavis echoed Gadkari’s sentiments, calling Meghe “a true leader of the masses, especially the underprivileged.” He described Meg, who rose from a poor background through determination, as a symbol of perseverance and selfless service. Fadnavis noted that Meghe’s education was funded through hard-earned money, enabling him to build a strong political and social presence.#nitin_gadkari #devendra_fadnavis #datta_meghe #sameer_meghe #vca_jamtha
