Ambadas Danve questions Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis' delay in unveiling Swami Ramanand Tirtha's statue. Despite several requests from the Swami Ramanand Teerth Research Institute since February, the statue remains surrounded by controversy, awaiting inauguration during Marathwada's annual celebration of its integration with India.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, Ambadas Danve, has raised concerns over the delay by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in unveiling the statue of Swami Ramanand Tirtha. This significant figure, known for leading the Marathwada liberation movement, has become a subject of missed appointments and unanswered requests.
Swami Ramanand Tirtha played a crucial role in the region's history, especially during its liberation from the Nizam of Hyderabad's rule. The Swami Ramanand Teerth Research Institute, eager to honor his contributions, has contacted the Chief Minister's Office over half a dozen times since February but has yet to receive a positive response.
In the latest development, while the statue was prepared last year, the delay in its inauguration has sparked widespread disappointment. With hopes pinned on a future unveiling coinciding with Tirtha's birth anniversary, the growing impatience adds to the political tension around Maharashtra's administration.
