PM Modi with Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray
PM Modi Maharashtra visit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated an underground ‘Gallery of Revolutionaries’ museum, dedicated to the luminaries of the freedom struggle, at the Raj Bhavan in Mumbai.
The gallery has come up in the subterranean network of 13 pre-World War-I British era bunkers, discovered in the Raj Bhavan campus in August 2016 during the tenure of the then Governor C. Vidyasagar Rao.
The gallery includes information on the freedom movement heroes, their role in the movement, sculptures, rare photographs, murals and details on tribal revolutionaries drawn by school kids.
During his visit, the PM Modi also inaugurated the Jagatguru Shrisant Tukaram Maharaj Temple in Dehu near Pune. From Pune, Modi went to Mumbai, where he unveiled the Gallery of Revolutionaries at Raj Bhawan. "I look forward to being among my sisters and brothers of Maharashtra tomorrow, 14th June. I would be attending programmes in Pune and Mumbai," PM Modi tweeted on Monday evening.
Earlier in April, Uddhav Thackeray had skipped a function in Mumbai where PM Modi was conferred with the first Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award.
