• Amit Shah's two-day Maharashtra tour, starting May 25, marks his first visit to the state since India's Operation Sindoor airstrikes and subsequent ceasefire with Pakistan.
• The visit will feature key events such as the foundation stone laying for Swasti Nivas at Nagpur's National Cancer Institute and a statue unveiling of former Chief Minister Vasantrao Naik in Nanded.
• Shah will participate in commemorative events, including the 150th anniversary of Shri Laxmi Narayan Mandir and the 60th death anniversary of nationalist leader V.D. Savarkar, emphasizing cultural and political symbolism.
• In public addresses, Shah is expected to highlight the outcomes of Operation Sindoor, including claims of exposing Pakistan's complicity in terrorism and asserting India's zero-tolerance policy.
