Uddhav Thackeray, leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's apology after the collapse of a Shivaji statue in Maharashtra. Thackeray claimed the apology was arrogant and accused the government of disrespecting the Maratha icon. He led a protest in Mumbai, alongside other opposition leaders, demanding accountability. The statue, inaugurated eight months ago, collapsed, sparking political tension ahead of state elections. Thackeray emphasized that the incident was a symbol of corruption and insult to Maharashtra's pride.
