The late Vilasrao Deshmukh, who was Maharastra’s two-time chief minister between 1999-2003 and 2004-2008, will have his legacy move forward through his two sons. Brothers, Amit Deshmukh and Dhiraj Deshmukh won Latur(city) by 42k+ votes and Latur(rural) by 1+ lakh votes in the recent Maharashtra Assembly.
Vilasrao Deshmukh’s other son-actor, Riteish Deshmukh, took to Twitter to congratulate his brothers and posted an emotional tweet saying -“We did it PAPPA!!! @AmitV_Deshmukh wins Latur (city) by 42000+ votes for the 3rd consecutive time. @MeDeshmukh wins Latur (rural) by 1,20,000 votes. Thank you, people of Latur, for this faith & trust”.
Along with the tweet, Riteish also posted a picture of him dressed in a white kurta-pyjama with his father’s portrait in the backdrop. Another photo shows his brothers campaigning.
