He also highlighted the exemplary relationship between an uncle and his nephew. Addressing Amit, Riteish acknowledged the weight of expectations from the people of Latur and Maharashtra upon him.

Reflecting on his father's influence, Ritesh Deshmukh expressed, "Currently, politics is very different. During the time of my father, there was politics, but I took a personal vaccine. In my father's memories, I always feel his presence. However, his presence doesn't always manifest in real, and my uncle, Diliprao, always stood by us", as per ABP Majha

During the unveiling of Vilasrao Deshmukh's statue, he also remarked, "This statue in this vicinity needs to be seen for inspiration. It should serve as inspiration from one person to another. We play various roles since birth. People who speak for humans are truly admirable."
