Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde has reacted to the Opposition's protests over the collapse of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue and urged them to support the state government in erecting a new statue instead of "doing politics". He also criticised former CM Uddhav Thackeray, saying, "You take the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj but deeds are Aurangzebi and Afzal Khani."
