New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi has apologized for the incident of collapse of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Malvan. He said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not just a name for us. Today I bow my head and apologize to my Lord Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Along with this, he said that our culture is different, we are not those people who keep abusing the great son of Mother India, son of this land Veer Savarkar.
They keep abusing, insulting, crushing the feelings of patriots. They are not ready to apologize even after abusing Veer Savarkar. They do not repent… The people of Maharashtra have now come to know their values. Modi said that when in 2013 BJP confirmed me as the candidate for the post of Prime Minister, I first went to the fort of Raigad and sat in front of the Samadhi of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and prayed and started a new journey of national service. He said that those who consider Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as their god and have been deeply hurt by this, I apologize to them with my head bowed. Our values are different. For us there is nothing greater than our god.

This will be an important port not only in the country but also among the deepest ports in the world.
The Prime Minister said that our government has also approved the development of Dighi Port Industrial Area two-three days ago. That is, this is double good news for the people of Maharashtra. This will also become a symbol of Chhatrapati Shivaji’s dreams. He said that today is a historic day in the progress journey of Maharashtra. Today is a historic day in the progress journey of India.
