The debate in Shivaji vs Aurangzeb created a new political storm in Maharashtra, especially after comments from the Samajwadi party Mla Abu Azmi praised the Mughal rulers. Azmi was suspended last week until the end of the budget meeting on March 26, and his remarks praised Aurangzeb. Now, RTI revealed that the Maharashtra government has provided Rs 6,030 (Rs 500 per month) of annual financial aid to the trust that manages the Chhatrapati Shivaji temple, while the central government’s Indian archaeological surveys cost Rs 200 per year on the management of Tomb in Aurangzeb. This further exacerbates the debate, and people question ignorance of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

#jaishivazee : For the Indian Veer Shivaji Maharaj Temple, it only costs Rs 500 per month, and when cruel, the killer spends Rs 2 million per year for the grave on the grave of Aurangzeb… Is the insurance with Shivaji Maharaj in his own country?

Earlier, the BJP Satala MP Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the king of Malas, sounded like the demolition of the Aurangzeb tomb located in the dust of Chhatrapati Sambhainagar.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that everyone should remove the tomb of King Auráb of Mugar in chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, but it must be completed within the scope of the law, as the law will be under the protection of ASI-based protection as the previous Congress regime under the ASI-protected ASI.
“We all need the same thing, but you need to do it within the framework of the law because it is a protected location. During the Congressional regime a few years ago, the location was placed under the protection of the ASI (Archaeological Survey of India).”
