View: L-1, mediocrity, processes and poor skills behind Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday took the blame for the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse in Sindhudurg district on August 26 and asked for forgiveness from the Maratha people for the great Maratha king was his revered deity. While a joint probe headed by a Naval Commodore is now trying to ascertain the reasons for an accident for which the PM of India had to seek forgiveness, the collapse raises serious questions on Indian workmanship and the curse of awarding contracts to the lowest bidder to escape the auditor and allegations of corruption. Cynical Indians will say that the PM apologized for the collapse keeping in mind the Maharashtra elections, which are around the corner, but it is quite evident that Narendra Modi is most upset as top PMO officials are making calls to both the Navy and the State government to hold the culprits accountable. While the state government is on record stating that the 35 feet tall Shivaji statue collapsed due to high-velocity winds, the 600 feet tall statue of Sardar Patel proudly stands in Kewadiya, Gujarat due to specialized construction that allows howling winds from Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River to pass through without obstruction.
