Last year, PM Modi unveiled a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra, and it had not even been a year since the statue collapsed. The statue collapsed on 27 August. Although a case has been registered against 2 people in this case and 1 has also been arrested, but now this issue is getting more heated. Where the opposition is constantly attacking the state government. Regarding this, Maha Vikas Aghadi is also taking out a protest march in Mumbai today. On this, Devendra Fadnavis retorted that Nehru had insulted Shivaji Maharaj.
Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis said that this movement is completely political. Be it Maha Vikas Aghadi or Congress Party, they have never respected Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Nehru ji insulted Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in ‘The Discovery of India’. Will Congress and MVA apologize for this? Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath demolished the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with a bulldozer.

Shoe beating movement
Fadnavis further mentioned Surat and attacked the Congress. He said that even years after independence, the same Congress taught us that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj looted Surat. They never looted Surat. People have installed the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj there. Will the Congress apologize for this? The constituent parties of the Maha Vikas Aghadi are today conducting a ‘Joota Maro Andolan’ from Hutatma Chowk to Gateway of India in South Mumbai against the Maharashtra government. But even before this, Devendra Fadnavis retaliated and launched a scathing attack on the Congress including the MVA.

However, from Eknath Shinde to Ajit Pawar, everyone has apologized to the public for the fall of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
