The statue was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 4, 2023, on the occasion of Navy Day. The Maharashtra government entrusted the task of making this idol to the Navy, keeping the PWD in the middle. When the model of the idol was passed, it was specified that the idol would be 6 feet tall. But no one knows how it was made 35 feet high. A PWD official said that he had already written to the Navy on August 20 to inform that the idol was shaking due to the 45 kmph wind. It can fall anytime. The sea air has corroded its nuts and the steel structure that was supposed to be built is not even built. Navy received this letter and on August 26, Janmashtami day, the idol was broken. What was the controversy after the idol was broken? Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the idol of Maharashtrians. Marathas are proud of An-Ban. The fall of his statue means that the people of Maharashtra feel hurt. This idol is connected with the spirit of the people. As it fell, politics started over it.

The memorial will be rebuilt. Action will be taken against the culprits. He will find it wherever he runs away. CM Shinde said – Two committees will investigate this.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said on August 29 that the state government is taking a war footing decision to rebuild the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Two committees have been formed to probe the incident. Naval officers, IITians, architects, engineers and internationally renowned sculptors have been called for this.

PM Modi laid the foundation stone of the Rs 76,000 crore Wadwan Port here. Meanwhile, he said in his address that development of Maharashtra is my biggest priority. Maharashtra is playing a major role in the progress of India today, but it is unfortunate that the anti-Maharashtra parties have always tried to put a brake on the development. Expressing grief over the fall of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji, Modi said, “What happened a few days ago in Sindhudurg is extremely regrettable. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not just a name for us. For us Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not just a Maharaja; They are venerable to us. Today I bow before Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I bow down at the feet of our adoring Shivaji and apologize to him.” In the Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, people chose the genuine Shiv Sena and the genuine NCP. The Lok Sabha results proved to be a shock for the BJP in Maharashtra. After the results came out, one thing became clear that the people of Maharashtra were genuine. Shiv Sena and Sharad Pawar's genuine NCP will be a litmus test for BJP and Shinde. Out of these, NDA won 30 seats One seat has been allotted to another party. What did Sharad Pawar say after refusing to take Z Plus security? Central government decided to give Z Plus security to us. Based on the input, Sharad Pawar was to be allotted 58 commandos. Sharad Pawar has said that first I will check whether I am really afraid of anyone, and then I will consider taking security. I don't want security now. Sharad Pawar has sought input details from the Home Ministry. However, Sharad Pawar had told the media three days ago that because the assembly elections are coming, they are sending commandos to keep a watch on what I am doing. All is not well in Mahayuti Analysts who monitor the politics of Maharashtra are claiming that all is not well in Mahayuti of BJP, Shinde and Pawar. He says that the Shinde group and the BJP are upset with the way the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress is trying to take credit for the Chief Minister's Ladli Behan Yojana. Although Ajit Pawar is handling the finance department as the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, the scheme is in the name of the Chief Minister. Analysts say that the way the NCP performed in Thane over the Badlapur incident. Not only this, after breaking the statue of Shivaji Maharaj in Sindhudurg, Ajit Pawar apologized to 13 crore people of Maharashtra on behalf of Mahayuti. Ajit Pawar himself visited the Rajkot fort in Sindhudurg, which has increased the uneasiness in the Mahayutti. Finally, Modi apologized for breaking Shivaji's statue in Maharashtra and told the opposition from above. Modi said, I apologize to Shivaji Maharaj. Our values ​​are different, we are not people who keep complaining. But some people in Maharashtra are insulting Vir Savarkar, the great grandson of Mother India, the great grandson of this land. He is not ready to apologize for this, for which he is ready to fight in court. The people of Maharashtra should know the culture of those people.
