Ahead of the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Friday visited Pandhurna in the state, where the statue of 17th-century Maratha king warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was unveiled.

Senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath unveiled the statue, while his son and Lok Sabha MP Nakul Nath was present.

“The equestrian statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj erected at Pandhurna, Chhindwara, in Madhya Pradesh was unveiled by former Chief Minister Kamal Nath today. Attended this ceremony and saluted Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj by offering floral wreath,” Aaditya wrote on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

A Sena functionary said that Aaditya was invited by Kamal Nath to attend the statue unveiling event.

Considering the large number of Marathi-speaking population in Madhya Pradesh’s nine districts, Aaditya’s visit gains larger significance in the state which is going for state assembly polls in a few months.

The Sena UBT is in alliance with the Congress in the state and the country. The undivided Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray had fielded its candidates for the state assembly elections in 2013 and 2018 but failed to win any seats.
