Modi has been fighting for what Shivaji had fought. The Maratha community was patriot and they must strengthen the hands of Modi to develop the country," he said.

"The corporation was used to give scholarships to 27000 students and financed to sink borewell under the Ganga Kalyana scheme. I am always with the community and will make honest efforts to fulfil your demands," he added.
