Marking the occasion, a coffee table book titled "Maharashtra Nayak" was released to honour Fadnavis' public life and achievements. Pawar, who contributed an article to the book, praised Fadnavis for his tireless work ethic and high-paced functioning. In his article, Pawar wrote, "The speed at which Devendra works is remarkable... Watching his dedication and energy, I often wonder - how does he never get tired?"
