Fadnavis, Shinde visit Hedgewar memorial; Ajit Pawar skips

• Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde visited the Hedgewar Smriti Mandir in Nagpur.
• Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and other NCP leaders were notably absent from the traditional event.
• The visit by BJP and Shiv Sena members is a customary practice during the Maharashtra winter session.
• Eknath Shinde congratulated the RSS on its 100th anniversary, praising its work and calling Mohan Bhagwat a true patriot.

Why It Matters: Ajit Pawar's absence from RSS event highlights ideological rifts in Maharashtra's ruling coalition.
