Before Maharashtra elections, Congress leader Satej Patil said such a big thing about Chhatrapati’s daughter-in-law, it is being heavily criticized.
Maharashtra News Desk!!! Congress MLA Satej Patil has come under attack after Chhatrapati family scion Sneha Madhurima Raje Chhatrapati, who has decided not to contest the assembly elections, has given such a statement. The treatment of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s children has given rise to a new wave of debate.
A respected family throughout Maharashtra which is credited with the establishment of Hindu Swaraj and whose legacy holds an important place in the cultural and historical fabric of Maharashtra. Congress MLA Satej Patil has created a new controversy by commenting on the descendants of the same family.
Although this is not the first time that opposition parties have taken this stand, Congress and Mahavikas Aghadi leaders have been accused of insulting the Chhatrapati dynasty. In which earlier big leaders like Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut have also made derogatory comments.
This incident has highlighted the ongoing political tension in Maharashtra ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024. Madhurima Raje’s withdrawal from the election due to the continuation of the candidature of a rebel Congress candidate in Kolhapur North constituency set the stage for Patil’s critical comments.
The comments were widely condemned as an insult to Madhurima Raje and the entire Chhatrapati family, leading to public demands for an unconditional apology from Patil.
The feeling of respect for the Chhatrapati family runs deep in Maharashtra, with great reverence for the throne of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, which is currently represented by Udayan Maharaj, MP in Satara, and Shahu Maharaj, MP in Kolhapur.
