Mumbai, November 19: The Shiv Sena on Monday asked Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to declare that the proposed statue of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji off the Mumbai coast will be the tallest in the world, and not be 슬롯사이트œscared슬롯사이트� of prime minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah over the issue. The Sena said Nationalist Congress Party슬롯사이트™s (NCP) Maharashtra unit chief Jayant Patil has claimed the height of Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue has been decreased to ensure that the 슬롯사이트˜Statue of Unity슬롯사이트�, dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, remains the tallest. It said Fadnavis should use the same courage that he displayed in announcing quota for the Maratha community, and not be 슬롯사이트œscared슬롯사이트� of Prime Minister Modi and Shah over the issue of Shivaji statue슬롯사이트™s height. Decreasing the height of Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue to make Sardar Patel슬롯사이트™s statue look taller is 슬롯사이트œnarrow and distorted mindset슬롯사이트�, the Sena said in an editorial in party mouthpiece 슬롯사이트˜Saamana슬롯사이트�.

슬롯사이트œFadnavis should use the same courage that he showed while granting reservation to the Maratha community and fearlessly announce that Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue would be the tallest in the world, and not get scared of Amit Shah and Modi. This will not diminish the prestige of Sardar Patel,슬롯사이트� it said. The Uddhav Thackeray-led party reminded Fadnavis that earlier, then Union finance minister Chintamanrao Deshmukh in the Jawaharlal Nehru government had shown courage to tender his resignation, to ensure Mumbai stayed with Maharashtra. It ruled that while the 슬롯사이트˜Statue of Unity슬롯사이트� has already been unveiled and opened for public viewing, not a single brick has been laid for the construction of Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Chhatrapati Shivaji Statue in Arabian Sea: Bombay HC Refuses to Give Interim Stay on Construction.

There are now doubts being raised if there was an internal conspiracy to make Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue seem like a dwarf compared to the structure dedicated to Sardar Patel, it said. Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue should be larger than that of any other leader and all parties should come together for it, said the Sena, which is an ally of the BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra. Prime minister Modi had on October 31 inaugurated the imposing 182-metre statue of Sardar Patel, the first Home Minister of Independent India, in Gujarat슬롯사이트™s Narmada district.

The Congress and the NCP had said in the Maharashtra Assembly in July that the height of Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue, to be built in the Arabian Sea off the Mumbai coast, was being reduced, a claim rejected by Fadnavis, who had asserted that it will be the tallest in the world. According to the state government슬롯사이트™s reply submitted earlier to an RTI query, certain height specifications of the proposed Chhatrapati Shivaji Memorial have been changed to reduce the cost of the project. In the new design, the height of the warrior king슬롯사이트™s statue would be reduced by 7.5 metres, although the sword he wields will be taller than in the original design.

However, these changes will not alter the total height of the statue, which would be 121.2 metres. The height of the entire structure, including the pedestal, would be 212 metres, the government said in its RTI reply. The height of Chhatrapati Shivaji슬롯사이트™s statue has now been reduced to 75.7 metres from the earlier 83.2 metres. But in order to maintain the statue슬롯사이트™s overall height of 121.2 metres, the length of the sword has been raised from 38 metres to 45.5 metres, the government said. 슬롯사이트œThe height of the pedestal has been reduced to 87.4 metres from the earlier 96.2 metres. This change in the pedestal슬롯사이트™s height will save Rs 338.94 crore,슬롯사이트� it had said.
