Lok Sabha Elections 2024: NCP leader Praful Patel dressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a jiratop (special cone-shaped turban), which he wears with Janak Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has sparked a storm of protest. Opposition leaders criticized this move of Prafulla Patel and called it a big insult to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
When Narendra Modi went to Varanasi yesterday to file his candidature, NCP (Ajit Pawar) leader Praful Patel honored him by wearing a jiratop. When the matter came to the opposition camp, they got the opportunity to attack the ruling party with full force. This Giratop, which became famous after Shivaji, is not worn on anyone's head till date, in fact it is kept in a plate and given as a gift.
Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) leader Sanjay Rawat angrily said that “Maharashtra will take this matter very seriously. Once Prime Minister Modi himself had said that Praful Patel had business relations with Don Dawood Ibrahim. While attacking, Uddhav Thackeray said in strong words that Modi Saheb, the zero-top of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, are you not even worthy of looking at him?
Praful Patel apologized on the growing controversy and protest over the issue of Jiretop and said that the founder of Hindavi Swaraj, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is the worshipable deity of our people and we are committed to continue following the path shown by him. We cannot even think of insulting Shivaji Maharaj. However, we will be careful in future so as not to hurt anyone's sentiments.
