Controversy Brews Over Tipu Sultan Squares: Rane's Stand and Konkan's Future

Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane has taken a strong stance against public squares named after Tipu Sultan, saying they should be relocated to Pakistan. His remarks follow backlash against Congress leader Harshwardhan Sapkal for comparing the historical figure to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Rane reiterated his commitment to enhancing his constituency, promising the construction of a Konkan Bhavan in Thane to serve the region's people. The minister emphasized the role of the Konkan region as a BJP bastion, expressing a vision to fulfill local aspirations.

Highlighting Konkan's economic potential, Rane urged youth to delve into agriculture, tourism, and maritime careers. These sectors, stemming from Konkan's vibrant coastline, are vital for boosting employment and preserving the region's heritage, he argued during the Malvani Mahotsav.
