Amid the ongoing controversy over Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Statue Collapse, while addressing a gathering in Maharashtra’s Palghar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologised and expressed pain and apologised over the collapse of Shivaji Maharaj’s statue in Sindhudurg. "Those who consider Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as their deity and have been deeply hurt, I bow my head and apologise to them. Our values are different. For us, nothing is bigger than our deity," said PM Modi. Chetan Patil, the structural consultant of the Shivaji Maharaj statue that collapsed in the Malvan area of Sindhudurg, has been arrested from Kolhapur, said senior officials of Kolhapur Police.

 BJP candidate from Puri Lok Sabha seat, Sambit Patra apologised for his Mahaprabhu is devotee of PM Modi remarks following backlash and termed it an unintentional mistake. He also said need to seek forgiveness from Mahaprabhu Jagannath for this slip of the tongue and he has decided to do a `upvaas`. Sambit Patra said, "Today, a statement made by me had created a controversy. After PM Narendra Modi`s roadshow in Puri, I gave byte to many media channels and everywhere I said the same thing, that PM Narendra Modi is an ardent devotee of Mahaprabhu Jagannath... In the end, when another channel took my byte, it was extremely hot, crowded and noisy. Unknowingly, while giving the byte, I said the opposite, that Mahaprabhu is a devotee of PM Narendra Modi. This can never be true, and a person in his senses can never say such things that god is a devotee of a human. I have made this mistake unintentionally. I know some people must have been hurt but even god forgives mistakes made unintentionally... I need to seek forgiveness from Mahaprabhu Jagannath for this slip of the tongue and I have decided to do a `upvaas`."
