Kolhapur: Former Rajya Sabha (RS) member Chhatrapati Sambhajiraje will undertake a statewide tour from August 9 to gather support for his Swarajya outfit.Sambhajiraje has tweeted that he will be in Tuljapur on August 9 and begin the ‘revolution for transformation’. Sambhajiraje's close aides have claimed that he will begin a statewide tour to gather support and build the new outfit. Earlier, when he floated the outfit, he had categorically stated that it will certainly be a political outfit, meaning it will have an organisational set-up, ideology, constitution and most importantly the cadre to the organisation.A close aide of Sambhajiraje said, “At Tuljapur temple, Sambhajiraje was denied entry and the town was shut for one day. It showed that the people there support him and hence, he has chosen Tuljapur to begin a new path in politics. If not tour, then he may make some other announcement.”
