Rahul Gandhi reached Kolhapur at 10 am, where he unveiled the statue of Shivaji Maharaj.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at the BJP government on Saturday, saying that there is no point in bowing to Shivaji Maharaj after scaring the people of the country and destroying the constitution. Rahul unveiled the statue of Shivaji Maharaj in Kolhapur.
Rahul said – the intention is visible. Can't hide it. He made the idol and after a few days it broke. His intentions were wrong. The statue of Shivaji Maharaj gave a message that if you make a statue, you have to protect the ideology of Shivaji.
Rahul Gandhi said that today is a battle of ideology which was fought by Shivaji Maharaj. BJP does not believe in the ideas of Shivaji Maharaj. These people work against ideology 24 hours a day. Our fight is to save the Constitution.
This visit of Rahul is considered important before the assembly elections. He has started campaigning for the Maharashtra assembly elections. Rahul was earlier scheduled to come to Kolhapur on October 4, but due to a technical problem with his plane, he could not make it.
Rahul visited Kolhapur after 14 years. Before this he will attend the Sugar Factory event in March 2009.
Big points of Rahul's speech…
- On the Constitution: What message did Shivaji Maharaj give to the country and the world? First of all he said that the country belongs to everyone. Everyone has to walk together. Do not do injustice. But if we think about what symbolizes his thinking today, it is this constitution. What Shivaji Maharaj said, its translation in the 21st century is constitution. The constitution came from his thinking. If there were no people like Shivaji and Shahuji Maharaj, there would have been no constitution.
- About Shivaji Maharaj: The statue has been unveiled here today. Shivaji Maharaj's. This is not just a statue. An idol is created when we wholeheartedly support a person's ideology and actions. We came here and unveiled the statue. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's message to the world was that the country belongs to everyone.
- On the incident of breaking the statue of Sindhudurga: There is a battle between two ideologies in India. One talks about equality, the other about intimidating people. Today Congress is fighting against another ideology. The intention appears. He made the idol and after a few days it broke. The intention was wrong. He gave the message that if you make a statue, you have to protect your ideology.
- Regarding discrimination against tribals: They go and join hands in front of the statue for 24 hours working against the thinking of Shivaji Maharaj. The tribal president was not allowed to attend the inauguration of the Ram Temple and Parliament. This is not a political fight. This is a battle of ideas and ideologies. It is a fight to save the constitution, Shivaji Maharaj is in the constitution, his thinking is in it.
Kolhapur is a district that gives strength to Congress Kolhapur is known to be the strongest Congress district in Maharashtra. The Election Commission has not yet announced the dates for the assembly elections. But Congress is likely to contest 100-110 seats out of 288 seats.
Even before Rahul's visit, ticket claimants are being interviewed. So far 1688 more applications have been received. The interview has been postponed till October 8 due to Rahul's visit.

During the Haryana elections, Rahul Gandhi did the 'Haryana Vijay Sankalp Yatra'. In a public meeting on September 30, Rahul Gandhi said that Modiji's God is Adani. He orders, Modi ji sends ED and CBI to do the work. We don't want an India where 25 lakh people have fun, get married at the expense of thousands of crores and the peasants and laborers die of hunger. Modiji is spreading hatred. Talks about Hindu-Muslim divide.
