Sena objects to political misuse of 'Tanhaji' trailer
January 21,2020Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut kicked off a fresh controversy by taking
objections to a trailer of 'Tanhaji' film being allegedly misused for
politics in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, here on Tuesday.
The
tongue-in-cheek trailer depicts Prime Minister Narendra Modi as
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Union Home Minister Amit Shah as the
trusted military Commander Tanaji Malusare, while Delhi Aam Aadmi Party
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is lampooned as Udaybhan Singh Rathore.
Guided
by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Tanhaji had fought the historic battle
for Sinhagad Fort in Pune on February 4, 1670 which was under the
control of a Rajput commander, Udaybhan Singh Rathore, guided by
Maharaja Jai Singh I, an ally of the Mughals.
A comparison has
been drawn to the battle of Sinhagad Fort with the Delhi elections and
the website has said: "Jo Dilli Jeet Gaya, Samjho Dil Jeet Gaya".
"Misusing
the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not proper and will not be
tolerated," warned Raut of the trailer on Tuesday.
The trailer has been uploaded by a website "Political Kida", considered close to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The website has uploaded it on its social media sites and it has gone viral, eliciting strong reactions from various quarters.
