Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra Chief Minister, announced on Sunday that the Bandra-Versova sea link bridge will be named as ‘Veer Savarkar Setu’.
According to The Print, Eknath Shinde paid tributes on the 140th birth anniversary of freedom fighter Veer Savarkar and said it is a proud matter that the new parliament building is inaugurated on this day. Still, some people have tried to throw salt on that program by boycotting it as well,” he tweeted.
“Today, May 28, marks the legendary liberation hero Veer Savarkar’s birthday anniversary. Even today, we are all inspired by the tales of his heroism, sacrifice, and tenacity. I’ll never forget the day I visited Veer Savarkar in the Andaman prison cell, where he was serving a “Kala paani” sentence.
According to political Analysts, the Bandra -Versova will be the city’s most important landmark. As the main railway station and the airport is under the name of Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj, naming the sea after Savarkar would serve as a political statement from CM Shinde.
