National News Desk, The uproar that started in the state after the collapse of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Siddhadurg, Maharashtra is not taking the name of stopping. Opposition leaders have been continuously attacking the state government since the collapse of Shivaji’s statue in Siddhadurg. Whereas immediately after this incident, the government came into action and immediately registered an FIR against the sculptor and the people responsible for the audit.
Not only this, the state government formed an inquiry committee and apologized for the incident and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also announced to build a new statue at the same place. Despite all this, this incident has become the center of political maneuvering in Maharashtra. The actions of the opposition are being seen as an attempt to take advantage of the situation for their agenda by inciting communal tension.
Let us tell you that opposition leaders including Vijay Wadettiwar, Ambadas Danve, Jayant Patil, Satej Patil and Aditya Thackeray reached the Sindhudurg site after the incident and criticized the government’s way of handling the situation. Apart from this, pictures of the fallen statue were shared on social media, which was considered an attempt to incite religious tension.
Strategy to turn Maharashtra into Bangladesh after the statue collapse
The actions of these leaders are being described as an attempt to create a Bangladesh-like situation in Maharashtra. They are accused of betraying the legacy of Shivaji Maharaj for political gain. Sharad Pawar is especially criticized for creating a rift between Brahmins and non-Brahmins for political gain.
Are opposition leaders taking political advantage of this too?
These opposition leaders did not visit the statue before it fell, but gathered in Rajkot after the incident. Reportedly, they also misbehaved with MP Narayan Rane and his workers while waving party flags at the fort. This behaviour was seen as a political strategy to garner support and create conflict between different communities.
The opposition made this allegation
It was also reported that the Congress and NCP failed to rename Aurangabad, a city named after Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The opposition leaders were accused of praising the Mughals and ignoring the injustice done to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
This serious allegation was made on opposition leaders
The press conferences held by NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole and Shiv Sena (BJP) Uddhav Thackeray faced criticism for focusing on caste issues and making derogatory remarks about Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The opposition leaders were accused of trying to incite communal tension and create divisions within the state.
