Amid the clamour for the demolition of Aurangzeb’s grave, Shiv Sena(UBT) on Wednesday attacked the BJP, saying that it nowadays considers the Mughal emperor more important than Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Kesavan further targeted former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for writing "desperately" and "demeaningly" about the great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in his book "Glimpses of World History.".
After Maha Vikas Aghadi's call for protest march over Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse incident, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavais said on Sunday that the agitation is completely political and MVA or Congress, never respected Chhatrapati Shivaji.
In a video message on Friday, Narendra Modi said today the reflection of the thoughts of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj can be seen in the vision of Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat.
