Chief Minister Eknath Shinde expressed his pleasure over the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Victoria and Albert Museum for the return of Chhatrapati Shivaji's 'Wagh Nakh' to India. He emphasized that this moment is of great historical significance for all admirers of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, not just in Maharashtra but across the country.

CM Shinde said, 'Today's moment is historic for all Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj lovers, not only for Maharashtra but also for the country. The 350th coronation anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was celebrated with great enthusiasm in the state of Maharashtra. Tiger claws were of great importance among the weapons of Shivaji's time.' The agreement was signed in London in a very rousing atmosphere with the beating of drums and chants of 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai'.
