The Hindu
Congress questions PM Modi's vision for Maharashtra, criticizes neglect of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and water scarcity in Marathwada.
The Congress on Thursday (November 14, 2024) attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi by posing questions to him on Maharashtra and asked why the Mahayuti and the Union Government keen on "undermining" Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Ahead of Prime Minister Modi's rallies in Maharashtra, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh posed three questions to him, including what is his vision to address water scarcity in Marathwada.
Why is Maharashtra poll fray fragmented?
“Why is the Mahayuti and the Union Government keen on “undermining” Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,” Mr. Ramesh asked.
"Raigad was the capital of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj — one of India's greatest sons, whom the Mahayuti Government in Maharashtra and its patron in New Delhi have been undermining," Mr. Ramesh said in a post on X.
“Seven years ago, the PM laid the foundation stone for a 696-feet statue of Shivaji Maharaj in the Arabian Sea near Mumbai but it has since been silently abandoned by his government,” he said.
"In a petty effort to spite the people of Maharashtra after their stinging debacle on June 4, they removed the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj from its place of prominence outside the Parliament House," Mr. Ramesh alleged.
