Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has pledged to take the lead in the endeavour to erect a statue of the revered freedom fighter, Swami Ramanand Teerth, in the heart of New Delhi, stated a report in the news agency PTI. This commitment comes after Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar raised the matter during a special event in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, formerly known as Aurangabad, situated in the Marathwada region.
The occasion was a significant one, as it marked the groundbreaking ceremony for various projects in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Furthermore, the Maharashtra state government convened a special cabinet meeting in the city to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Marathwada Liberation Day, also known as Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din, celebrated annually on September 17. Marathwada was formerly a part of the Nizam-ruled Hyderabad kingdom.
