Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse: Facing oppn ire, Kesarkar says his remarks being misinterpreted

Maharashtra minister Deepak Kesarkar stated that his comments on the collapse of Chhatrapati Shivaji's statue were misconstrued and demanded the erection of a 100-foot structure at the same spot. The 35-foot statue, unveiled by PM Modi last year, collapsed recently, causing political controversy and leading the opposition to call for CM Eknath Shinde's resignation.
