The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday praised actor Nana Patekar for his quiet work to support farmers during Maharashtra's suicide crisis. Speaking at the launch of the UP Police song "Khaki Ka Sitara," Adityanath said Patekar extended help when "farmers had started committing suicides on a large scale," and did so "without any publicity or fanfare."
The CM also credited singer Shankar Mahadevan with giving the police song a new identity and thanked Patekar for featuring in a short film on cyber-security awareness, including digital arrest scams. The event was attended by DGP Rajeev Krishna and senior officials. IPS officer Rahul Srivastav scripted the film, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa.
The Indian Opinion
The event offers a rare chance to see a public figure praised for working quietly, but the spotlight is on a controversial actor. Nana Patekar's past allegations of harassment often overshadow his charity work, and the CM's effusive praise may be read as political messaging in an election year. Yet the core fact, that a star helped farmers without seeking credit, deserves recognition. Watch whether Adityanath's praise translates into concrete policy for farmer welfare, or remains a photo-op.
