Chief Minister Ashok Chavan slams the Shiv Sena, trumpets his achievements and foretells victory Kay ho! The CM said the Shivaji memorial would beu00a0u00a0 a national monument and the Sena had no business criticising the plan
Are you building the Shivaji-on-sea statue to undermine the Shiv u00a0Sena-BJP?
Is Shivaji Maharaj the copyright of the Shiv Sena? Does the Shiv Sena own Shivaji Maharaj? He is the deity of Maharashtra and people respect and honour him. If we build a national monument befitting a hero, which will be national landmark, is that wrong?
u00a0
But you're doing this when the state has a Rs 1.5 lakh crore debt. And you want to spend Rs 350 crore on the memorial?
Debts have no relevance to the memorial since this has national importance. If the Shiv Sena had announced the memorial, you think they would have criticised it!
u00a0
Is there something you are particularly proud of?
My achievement as an industry minister, and then as CM the success in controlling law and order issues and terrorism in just eight months.
u00a0
Rate yourself as a chief minister?
People have to rate my performance.
Are you better than your predecessor?
Again, the people of Maharashtra have to judge. I can't.
