National: The political temperature is rising over the incident of the collapse of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra. The opposition is constantly cornering PM Modi and BJP. In this episode, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has also targeted the media during a conversation in Mumbai. He said that Devendra Fadnavis is the mastermind behind everything and this is the problem in Maharashtra. The whole country and PM Modi know this, that is why he had to apologize. But the question is, will the matter be resolved by just apologizing?

Sanjay Raut further said that the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj collapsed in just seven months, so should we remain silent? We are going to protest today in honor of Shivaji Maharaj. Raut said Devendra Fadnavis, you are the villain of Maharashtra.

Devendra Fadnavis also reacted to MVA's protest. On the
protest march taken out by MVA on the incident of collapse of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the movement that is happening today is completely a political movement. They never respected Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Show me even one speech of Pandit Nehru and Indira Gandhi from the Red Fort in which they have mentioned Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Pandit Nehru insulted Chhatrapati Maharaj in his book 'Bharat Ki Khoj'. Will the Congress Party and Maha Vikas Aghadi apologize for that?

Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis further said that when Kamal Nath was the Chief Minister in the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh, the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was removed with a bulldozer, will the Congress apologize for that? In Karnataka, their working president got the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj removed, will the Congress apologize for that?
