Maharashtra assembly Speaker wants Shivaji Maharaj slogans on trains arriving at and departing from CSMT in Mumbai

The Story in Brief

The Story in Brief

Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar has asked Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to add ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Ki Jai’ and ‘Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji’ to announcements on every train arriving at or leaving Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT).

In his letter, Narwekar called CSMT a symbol of Shivaji Maharaj’s ideals of courage, Swarajya and patriotism. He said the slogans would introduce younger passengers to his legacy through the railway network. Narwekar expressed confidence the Union minister would consider the proposal and issue necessary directions.

The Indian Opinion

The push for Shivaji slogans on train announcements risks reducing a towering historical figure to a public address gimmick. Commuters care about punctuality and clean stations, not catchphrases piped between platform updates. If the Speaker truly wants to honour Shivaji Maharaj, let him first demand that the Railways restore the station’s heritage façade and fix its chronic overcrowding. That would be a real legacy.
