Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Kolhapur comes ahead of the assembly elections in Maharashtra later this year. Gandhi attended the unveiling program of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s statue at Saffron Chowk. During this, Rahul said that the Congress Party is today fighting against the same ideology against which Shivaji Maharaj had fought.

Attacking BJP, Rahul said that they built a statue of Shivaji Maharaj and after a few days the statue broke and fell. His intention was wrong and the statue gave him the message that if you want to make a statue of Shivaji Maharaj then you have to protect the ideology of Shivaji Maharaj. That’s why the statue fell because their ideology is wrong. They did not allow the tribal President to attend the inauguration of Ram Temple and Parliament. This is not a political fight, this is a fight of ideology.
The Congress leader said that the statue of Shivaji Maharaj was inaugurated here today. An idol is created when we wholeheartedly support a person’s ideology and his actions. When we are inaugurating the statue of Shivaji, we should also take this pledge that: The way Shivaji Maharaj lived his entire life and fought for the things, we should also fight for those things. He said that Shivaji Maharaj fought a war of justice against injustice throughout his life and taught to follow the path of truth. We will continue to follow his path and fight for people’s ‘right to justice’.

Rahul said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had given the message that the country belongs to everyone, everyone has to be taken along and injustice should not be done. He said that today ‘Samvidhan’ is a symbol of Shivaji Maharaj’s thinking. The Constitution was made based on the thinking of Shivaji Maharaj, because it contains everything for which he fought throughout his life.
