The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) staged a protest in Mumbai against the collapse of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue, with a symbolic "Chappal Jode Maaro Yatra" (hit with footwear). Top leaders, including Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, and Nana Patole, marched carrying giant slippers from Hutatma Chowk to the Gateway of India. The statue, unveiled last year by PM Modi, collapsed in Sindhudurg on August 26. While MVA demands accountability, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis dismissed the protest as politically motivated, referencing past controversies involving Congress and Shivaji Maharaj.
