00:00I am Avdosh Chitaramji Kotewar, a member of the Beldar Samaj Sangat.
00:07The book written by Karmarveer Kannavar, Tuna Katkar, was a fake book.
00:17But I got that book from Anil Katkar and read it.
00:23After that, I came to know about Kannavarji's work.
00:26Kannavarji was the health minister of Madhya Pradesh.
00:31At that time, he established a medical college in Nagpur.
00:37While he was a minister, he built a bridge over the river in Chandrapur, Ghatchilli.
00:44He tried to connect both the districts.
00:48Later, he remained in Maharashtra as the first Deputy Chief Minister.
00:54He did a lot of work.
00:57Later, when Yashwantra Chauhan went to the Central Government,
01:01Kannavarji got the second Chief Ministerial post.
01:06While Kannavarji was the Chief Minister of Karkerda,
01:11when the cleanliness workers went to Mumbai,
01:15Kannavarji took a broom in his hand and started the work of cleaning.
01:22This is his story.
01:25His situation was very poor.
01:29Even though he was the Chief Minister, he did not bring his son into politics.
01:36Kannavarji's son was working in a chemical factory as an engineer.
01:46He never tried to bring his son into politics.
01:52There are no political leaders in Kannavarji's family.
01:59Kannavarji's work is very important.
02:05After reading this book, I understood.
02:08We tried very hard to make his JNT on a political level.
02:15We sent around 25-30 letters to the government.
02:21We met them.
02:23But the government did not take any action to make JNT on a political level.
02:29So, in a meeting of Beldar Samaj Sangat, we read the book.
02:35The society consulted the book.
02:38Some people in the society decided that Kannavarji's work is so important
02:43and the government or today's generation is becoming criminal.
02:47What should we do for that?
02:49We went to Anil Katkaran.
02:52He gave us the book.
02:54After reading the book, we decided
02:57to remove 1000% of the JNT.
03:00We redid 1000% of the JNT.
03:03We started the work of spreading the JNT from July to May.
03:09After reading the book, I understood that there are 155 JNTs.
03:14Even though the government does not do the JNT,
03:17we made a commitment to do it.
03:23For this, some of our friends from Chandrapur called us to a meeting.
03:30They also got to know about Kannavarji.
03:33In that meeting, it was decided that
03:36Karmavir Kannavar is not only for the Beldar Samaj,
03:39but for all the Samaj.
03:41So, by gathering all the Samaj people,
03:44Karmavir Kannavar was established on 15th August, 2024.
03:55After that, the Ruksha Ropan program was held.
04:00In 2024, there were meetings every month.
04:05There were meetings on health, blood donation, etc.
04:12We did the program in these 6 months.
04:16On 1st January, 1975, we met the Chief Minister, Devendraji Padukone.
04:30He did not give us a date.
04:35But the Chief Minister gave us a date.
04:38Tomorrow, on 10th January, 2025,
04:42the Chief Minister will be present here
04:46with the efforts of Kishore Bhoj Dorjewari.
04:49I would like to thank him.
04:51The work that we undertook,
04:53was done by the Chief Minister.
04:56Because of the blessings of Karnavarji,
04:59and the support of the people of Chandrapur,
05:02we were able to complete the work successfully.
05:09We are very happy about that.
05:11When Karnavarji was the Chief Minister,
05:14how was his family's livelihood?
05:17His wife, Varuna, was a farmer.
05:22When she was in Chandrapur,
05:25she had a shop in WCL.
05:28But due to her habit,
05:30her shop was closed.
05:32She went to Varuna.
05:34Varuna's wife started a shop there.
05:36And the example was set.
05:38You said that in Vidarbha,
05:41they had a population of 40,000.
05:43Yes.
05:44And when the country was independent,
05:46and the Chief Minister was elected,
05:48the Chief Minister position was given.
05:50At that time, Karnavarji was a capable candidate.
05:53In what way was he a capable candidate?
05:55And how did he become the Chief Minister in 15 days?
06:00What was the situation at that time?
06:02At that time, after seeing Karnavarji's work,
06:05all the people of Vidarbha were happy with Karnavarji.
06:08He did not do anything for himself,
06:11but he worked for the people.
06:13That was in the hearts of the people.
06:15Let me give you an example of Karnavarji.
06:18When Gandhiji had called him once,
06:21even in the monsoon,
06:23even if there was a flood,
06:25he would get wet in the middle of the flood.
06:28He would get wet in the middle of the flood.
06:30He would get wet in the middle of the flood.
06:32He would get wet in the middle of the flood.
06:34Such was his farming.
06:36How was he a candidate for the Chief Minister position?
06:39Because the Chai Sambdar of Vidarbha was with him.
06:43And he was a candidate because he was the Chai Sambdar.
06:46But Yashwant Rao Chavan,
06:49when he became the Chief Minister,
06:52he did not understand him.
06:55He understood him only once.
