Jai Bhagwan Goyal, who was sacked from the Shiv Sena following an attack on Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi by his henchmen in 2008, has landed his current party, the BJP, in trouble with his book that compares Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Through the controversial book, Goyal has given the political parties ammo to slam the BJP for encouraging the unthinkable. Several political leaders along with Shivaji lovers have demanded the withdrawal of the book, 'Aaj ke Shivaji – Narendra Modi'. The Maharashtra Congress unit has planned a state-wide protest on Tuesday. The BJP has distanced itself saying it did not publish the book, which was launched in Delhi on Saturday. Sambhaji Raje Bhosale, BJP's RS member and Shivaji's descendant, also demanded the scrapping of the book.
