CM Eknath's poster features a picture of the missing elder.
The Eknath Shinde government of Maharashtra had announced a scheme to allow senior citizens to visit religious places during the monsoon session. The advertisement of this scheme is now being talked about a lot. After the advertisement was released, it was revealed that the senior citizens featured in the advertisement have been missing for the past three years. When the picture of the person missing from the house for almost three years appeared in the advertisement, the family members were also shocked.
Speaking to TV9, the daughter-in-law of the missing elder, Sreekha Tambe, said that 68-year-old Vishnu Tambe of Varode village in Sharur taluk has been missing for the past three years. Her father-in-law did not come home for the last three years, we did not register any complaint in the police station, but now Srikha Tambe said she is happy to see the picture on the advertisement.
This elderly person has been missing since January 14, 2021. Once his photo was published in a newspaper while distributing blankets in Corona. Then news came that Tamba was alive but there was no trace of him since then.

A wave of happiness among the villagers after seeing the picture
Now everyone in the village is happy to see the image of copper on the advertisement of the Chief Minister. Villagers expressed happiness, but opposition leader Vijay Vidyatiwar has criticized the government in this regard.
He said that the government has started a scheme to provide darshan of deities to senior citizens. Chief Minister promotes the scheme. If they've worked, you're good at advertising. But one should be careful of lying.
The news of the Chief Minister using the picture of senior citizen Tambe, who went missing three years ago, in the advertisement of the Devdarshan Yojana is raising several questions. How much will this ad hurt the Tambe family?
How did Vijay Vidyatiwar criticize the government?
Vijay Vidyatiwar said public money is being wasted on government advertisements and using people's photos in an unethical manner is a big crime.
He said that downloading a person's photos from the internet and social media and using them in advertisements without permission is a serious matter. Just as the plans of the Grand Alliance are hollow, so is the advertisement.
Vidyatiwar also said that the Chief Minister should abandon the 'Gujarat model' of spreading propaganda through fake photos without doing any work.
