Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who turned up at the launch of Deepika Padukone’s mental health foundation on Saturday said that he had a mission for the actress.
The CM wants Deepika to engage with farmers in the state in order to destress them.
We would like to give Deepika Padukone a mission.... mission to engage with farmers. We did a survey (with regard to farmer suicides) in two places and found out that 40 percent of farmers were under stress. More than the package, they need somebody to assure... reassure them that they exist...they are needed.
– Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra
