Maharashtra Rajya Suvarna Mahotsavi varsh va 1st May antarrashtriya kamgar dina Nimitta sarvana hardik Shubbeccha.


1st May, Maharashtra Day is a day of pride for every citizen of Maharashtra. This year 1st May is even more important as it is the 50th year of the formation of the State of Maharashtra.


India started observing Labour week beginning on May 1, 1927.In Maharashtra and Gujarat (States in India), Labour week also coincides with 'Maharashtra Divas' and 'Gujarat Divas' (respectively, Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Day) because the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat were created on the same week in 1960.The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the Eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.

Hanuman ji temple issue

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them – Galileo Galilei. Hence to discover the truth about the issue of Sri Hanuman ji idol at temple which is situated at Malad (W) is mentioned below which is as follows:-

In the year 1998 Asmita group which is owned by me, have purchased the plot at Malad (W) for the construction purpose. In 2006 Joint venture (JV) was formed & named as “Sun Developers” with PNK Builders – Patel Brothers to develop the said property. I have formed JV owing to lack of time in executing the said property due to my involvement in various political / social / other activities.

The whole issue revolves around the Sri Hanuman ji Mandir which is on road near the said plot wherein i have made it very clear to JV Partners to first construct the new temple in the plot before the construction of the building & than shift the idols from old temple to new temple. The grand & beautiful new temple was constructed in proper plot after taking priest & local people into confidence.

After discovering the facts of the old temple & its idols from local priest, i made personnel visit to village in Varanasi to double check the facts from the original family who have constructed the old temple & installed idols over there. There was technical difficulty in removing the old hanuman ji idol coz some of idol portion has caved in the ground below it. As there was no trustee in this temple it was decided after making due consultation with original owners , priest of the temple & local people to have new idol of Sri hanuman ji in place of old idol. The new idol was installed with all the required rituals / customs & old idol was immersed after taking into confidence all the people involved in this temple. Fortunately entire ceremony of new idol installation is video recorded & photographed.

When i was away to Delhi i was informed that somebody has lodge complaint in police for removing the old hanuman ji idol against the few employees & contractor of the Joint venture. The fact remains the same. The entire episode is been politised & to malign my image of secular person by vested parties in the name of religion.

It’s really very sad & heartbreaking that after having good intentions in heart & secular image created by hard work there are vested parties for Making Mountain out of a molehill. “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.” – Winston Churchill.

Police reforms issue raised in the Maharashtra Assembly

I have raised the following points in the Maharashtra Assembly in regards to police reforms & issues:-

1)I have once again demanded to have coastal police commissioner office for the entire belt of maharashtra coast line.

2)I have also demamaded to have regular training programmes on various sections of indian penal codes to all the police officers & senior staff of all the police stations in the maharashtra. Due to errors in implementing right penal code there is low rate of conviction & justice to its citizens.

3)Police reforms are not limited to providing police personnel with advanced weapons, but it is more about considering their worries while discharging official duties, besides looking into family tensions, stress levels and other factors.

4)Even during 9/11 in New york & 7/7 in London bombing the respective police forces were shifted after 12 hours shift but over here during such crisis they have to work in 24-60 hours continous shift which goes against nature law. The govt has to enact new law for max shift of 12 hours in police forces irrespsective of the demand of the day / crisis.

5)I have also requested the state to address the problem of housing / Education / work related travelling for all the police forces & families.

Police reforms are necessary as the police have a close relationship with the common people
