Shivaji Maharaj Statue Collapse: Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad Detained During Mumbai Protest (Watch Video)
Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad, along with other party workers, was detained by police, while staging a protest in Mumbai over the collapse of the Shivaji Maharaj statue.
नरेंद्र मोदी ने महाराष्ट्र के सिंधुदुर्ग में छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज की एक प्रतिमा का अनावरण किया।

लेकिन..
सिर्फ 8 महीने बाद ही वह प्रतिमा ढह गई।
ये सरकार में फैले भ्रष्टाचार का सबूत है। मराठा गौरव का अपमान है। महाराष्ट्र की जनता नरेंद्र मोदी को माफ नहीं करेगी। #माफी_मागा_मोदीpic.twitter.com/T9qOVNISXj
We have been detained for raising our voice for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, for Maharashtra's pride. But we will not be deterred. The Prime Minister must apologise for the insult to our icon. Jai Bhawani. Jai Shivaji, said Varsha Gaikwad in a post X.
