Shivaji statue proposal welcomed by Mumbaikars
The state government's decision to install a 300-feet statue of Shivaji in the Arabian Sea off Mumbai has been largely welcomed by residents and political parties alike.
Lauding the Democratic Front government's move, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state general secretary Vinod Tawde said that the decision had come late, ‘but better late than never to honour the memory of the great leader Chhatrapati Shivaji'.
‘However, merely installing the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji is not enough. The government must also follow the ideals of the revered hero of Maharashtra and India and act for the upliftment of the poor, downtrodden, the farmers and other deprived sections of society,' Tawde said.
Shiv Sena leader Subhash Desai, welcoming the move, wondered why the government took four years to select the statue site.
‘It was part of the Congress manifesto four years ago, but now with state and general elections round the corner they are rushing ahead with it. If they think they can fool the people of the state, they are mistaken,' Desai said.
Tina Films International associate producer Ramya Iyer said that the statue will give a much-needed ‘face' to Mumbai.

Supreme Court to hear case against Sridevi and Boney Kapoor
Bollywood actress Sridevi and hubby Boney Kapoor are surely making news but for all the wrong reasons. The couple are due to appear in Supreme Court on Monday in relation to the lawsuit filed against them seeking a trial against them for the alleged fraud involving bouncing of cheques worth over Rs 96.6 million given to a film financier.
Filed by financier Madhu Gupta, who runs Mumbai based Photo Films Industries, the lawsuit is to come up for hearing before a bench consisting of Chief Justice K.G.Balakrishnan, Justice R.V.Raveendran and Justice M.K.Sharma.
Gupta has moved the apex court challenging a Bombay High Court order, which on March 26, 2008 had stalled Sridevi's trial in the case.
In her petition to the apex court, Gupta claimed that the actress and her husband had availed themselves of financial help and credit facility from their business concerns. The couple had issued three cheques, one for Rs 92,50,484, one for Rs 8,41,85,682 and another for Rs 31,62,074 to discharge their legally enforceable liability. However, all the three cheques had bounced.
