Mahaparinirvan Diwas is observed annually on December 6 to commemorate the death anniversary of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Maharashtra is a state that gives ideological direction to the country and I, who comes from a simple farmer family, got the opportunity to become the CM of such a state with the blessings of Balasaheb Thackeray. PM Narendra Modi also supported us completely and gave us full strength. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also stood behind us with full strength... And that is why we could do so much work in 2.5 years. We have taken so many historic decisions," Shinde told reporters.
