Aurangabad: Suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader from Telangana, T Raja Singh , has said Maha- rashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde should imitate his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath and demolish illegal encroachments on government lands using bulldozers.

Addressing a gathering in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, formerly Aurangabad, on Sunday Singh said Shinde should ensure that encroachments from forts of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj are removed and he should be known as

“bulldozer Shinde”. He was addressing a morcha organized by Sakal Hindu Samaj in the city demanding a law against Love Jihad.

“The Maharashtra chief minister should follow the pattern set by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The encroachments on government lands should be identified and they should be removed by procuring

100 bulldozers,” said Singh, an MLA from Hyderabad. Singh also said the encroachments from the forts of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj should

CALL FOR ACTION be removed just like the tomb of Afzal Khan at the Pratapgad fort in the Satara district of Maharashtra. “Shinde should also be known as bulldozer Eknath Shinde”, he said. Shin- de, who heads the Shiv Sena faction, shares power with the BJP in Maharashtra.

Speaking about opposition from some quarters to the recent renaming of Aurangabad city in Maharashtra, Singh said, “Secular people say Muslims were members of Shivaji Maharaj’s force. If that is so, why do they oppose the renaming?”

Another speaker Suresh Chavanke said that people should not purchase anything from shops which have “Aurangabad” written on their boards, and they should be banned. “Now the name of Aurangabad is changed, we should also change the character of this city,” he said.
