Hansraj Ahir asks supporters to keep his birthday simple amid drought

Chandrapur: Hansraj Ahir, former Union Minister of State for Home and a senior BJP leader, has appealed for his birthday on November 11, 2026, to be observed with simplicity, in view of the drought conditions in Maharashtra and the crisis facing farmers.

The appeal says the state government has declared a drought and that farmers are struggling with many difficulties. In such a situation, it is necessary to remain socially sensitive, mindful of the economic and natural crisis. All BJP office-bearers, workers and well-wishers have therefore been asked not to get carried away by emotion and put up banners and hoardings.

The birthday should not remain merely a celebration, but should become an occasion to show responsibility towards society. It should be observed simply, avoiding wasteful expenditure. The appeal was issued through a press release from Ahir's office.
