A delay in taking off of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s chartered flight from Jalgaon to Mumbai on Friday night proved to be a blessing in disguise, as it enabled the timely airlifting of a kidney failure patient who needed urgent medical attention in Mumbai. During the delay, a request was made to Shinde's office regarding a patient in urgent need of transport to Mumbai. The patient, Sheetal Borade, was suffering from kidney failure and had missed her earlier scheduled flight. She needed to reach the hospital by midnight to be eligible for a kidney transplant. Shinde immediately responded, arranging for two party workers to give up their seats so that Borade and her husband could board the flight. https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2025/Jun/07/eknath-shindes-flight-delay-turns-lifesaver-for-kidney-patient?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=channel&utm_campaign=nation
