Senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday said the collapse of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue was a blot on Maharashtra and shows the corrupt practices of the Mahayuti government in state, reported the PTI.

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai after a meeting of the Congress, the former chief minister also accused the Mahayuti government of pushing Maharashtra towards "complete bankruptcy", and claimed that the per capita income of the state was steadily declining, as per the PTI.
