The Shiv Sena, while slamming Rane, also stated that they have ‘purified’ the place where Rane paid tribute. This in turn irked BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis who claimed it was unnecessary and did not reflect a good mindset

All this sounds quite unbelievable at a time when we are in the midst of a pandemic and the state is concentrating on getting ready for a possible third wave. Instead of more vital issues being discussed like medical staffers, oxygen, beds and the all-important vaccines, our leaders are discussing this inanity. Given the standards that they have set in the past, maybe, this should not surprise us too much.
Instead, we have to look at how the grounds are maintained. If there is any infra needed at the park itself, see if the local corporators can pitch in, with the help of the community. We want to hear about Aaditya Thackeray’s cultural spine of Mumbai project of which Shivaji Park is a part, and any future plans.
Instead, we have this battle with a ground forming a backdrop. Concentrate on more important matters and respond to the community and people, instead of these tiresome trading of charges.
