Overview

  • Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis debuted the first episode of Maharashtra Dharma on July 6, invoking Ashadhi Ekadashi to frame the series as the state’s ethical blueprint.
  • The inaugural installment featured scholar Sadanand More tracing Maharashtra’s journey from epic origins through the contributions of saints, warriors and reformers.
  • Maharashtra Dharma is presented as a living code of ethics that urges citizens to think rationally, serve others and stand courageously in honor of figures like Dnyaneshwar and Babasaheb Ambedkar.
  • The BJP-led government positioned the podcast to counter opposition claims of anti-Maharashtra sentiment and strengthen Fadnavis’s regional appeal.
  • Building on his former TV show Mi Mukhyamantri Boltoy, Fadnavis plans monthly podcast releases to preserve cultural heritage and connect with a digital audience.
