I remembered everyone who contributed for the formation of this state. I pay my respects to all of them before speaking to you," he said."We had decided that this foundation day will be celebrated with great enthusiasm at the time when our government was formed. But we are helpless. Even I had to go there with masks on my face," he added."I remember 2010 when we celebrated 50th Anniversary of Maharashtra state. I remember everyone's presence.
