Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, in Mumbai, on Thursday (September 11, 2025) hit out at his Karnataka counterpart K. Siddaramaiah for the proposal to rename the Shivaji Nagar Metro Station in Bengaluru as St. Mary station. He accused the Congress Chief Minister of setting up an alternative religious system, and drawing a wedge between communities.
Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena UBT, an ally of the Congress, appealed to the Karnataka Chief Minister to reconsider the decision. “History will not forgive you if you rename the station,” said Anand Dubey, spokesperson of the Shiv Sena UBT.
