Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to unveil a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, as part of his ongoing outreach ahead of upcoming state elections. Shivaji Maharaj, known for his valor and leadership during the 17th century in resisting Mughal rule, remains a symbol of pride for Maharashtra. The unveiling event is expected to bolster Gandhi’s efforts to connect with the local electorate, especially as the region is deeply tied to Shivaji’s legacy. During his visit, Gandhi will also address various social and political concerns through events like the Samvidhan Sammelan, which aims to highlight constitutional values in today’s political climate. This visit holds great significance, as Maharashtra’s political landscape is likely to shift in the months ahead.
