Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday lambasted opposition for its "pettiness" over the collapse of the Shivaji Maharaj statue at Sindhudurg after Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologised to the people of Maharashtra who were hurt by the Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse, reported news agency ANI.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Fadnavis said, "The opposition is only seeing the politics in the incident, they cannot see beyond the politics. The Prime Minister has openly apologised to all the devotees of Shivaji Maharaj. Doing politics on this is the pettiness of the opposition. We do not need the Congress's certificate," reported ANI.
