Visuals from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus showed the Chief Minister arriving at the station amid tight security before boarding the semi-high-speed train for Shirdi.

The Mumbai CSMT–Sainagar Shirdi Vande Bharat Express, which operates six days a week except Tuesdays, departs from Mumbai at 6:20 am and reaches Shirdi at 11:30 am, covering the 343-km journey in just over five hours.

The latest train journey is being viewed as another attempt by the Maharashtra government to reinforce its austerity message at a time when rising global crude oil prices have pushed fuel costs sharply higher across the country. Petrol and diesel prices have increased multiple times this month, adding pressure on commuters and state finances.

The move comes days after Fadnavis travelled from Pune to Bengaluru on May 15 on a commercial flight by IndiGo in economy class instead of using the state’s chartered aircraft. According to a post shared by ANI, Fadnavis chose an economy seat on a regular commercial flight as part of the Maharashtra government’s austerity and fuel-saving measures.

Earlier, Fadnavis had grabbed attention by riding a motorcycle from his official residence ‘Varsha’ in Malabar Hill to Vidhan Bhavan in South Mumbai as part of the government’s fuel-saving awareness campaign.

Fadnavis had defended his decision to travel by bike, saying symbolic gestures by leaders help spread awareness among citizens. BJP leader and Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar had accompanied him during that ride.

Speaking after the bike journey, the Chief Minister had said the state government had already begun implementing austerity measures, including reducing ministerial convoys, curtailing unnecessary foreign tours and avoiding large-scale government events for the next six months.

“The Prime Minister has only asked people to make small sacrifices while himself taking very tough decisions,” Fadnavis had said while accusing the Opposition of creating unnecessary controversy over the symbolic exercise. As part of the same initiative, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar had also travelled in electric vehicles to Vidhan Bhavan and Mantralaya earlier this month.

Kenny Dalglish sends emotional Robertson message before Liverpool farewell

Andy Robertson in his final Liverpool game will be emotional enough, but Kenny Dalglish has now added another layer to the farewell with a genuinely lovely message before Brentford.

The Scotland captain is preparing to leave Anfield after almost nine years, 377 appearances and a trophy collection that includes the Champions League and two Premier League titles.

That already places the 32-year-old among the great modern Liverpool players, but when Dalglish speaks about the Scottish link with this club, it naturally carries extra weight.

Kenny Dalglish shares lovely Robertson message

Speaking to BBC Sport, Dalglish sat down with Robertson and reflected on the long Scottish connection with Liverpool, from Bill Shankly through to the departing left-back.

The 75-year-old said: “It’s a great coincidence between Scottish people and Liverpool, when you think none of us that played for Liverpool would be there without Bill Shankly, who set it off at the very beginning for everybody.”

Dalglish then brought the focus back to Robertson, adding: “I think you’ve fitted the bill perfectly and you’re a great credit to yourself, you’re a great credit to the football club.”

He continued: “You’ve done yourself proud, you did Liverpool Football Club proud, you did Scotland proud.”

That’s a huge tribute from the greatest Scot to ever play for us, and although Robertson isn’t quite in the Dalglish or Shankly tier, he has earned his place in that wider conversation of Scottish figures who understood Liverpool.

Robertson has earned his Liverpool farewell

Dalglish also joked about Scotland caps, telling Robertson he was “just a wee bit upset with the number of caps you’ve got for Scotland” before adding: “I think you should retire now after the World Cup!”

That line was clearly delivered with affection, given the Liverpool legend’s own Scotland record, and it made the moment feel even more personal.

Robertson has been praised by Curtis Jones, Virgil van Dijk and countless supporters in recent days, but this message felt different because it came from someone who knows exactly what it means to belong to both Scotland and Liverpool.

We’ve had Robertson at his relentless best, we’ve had the medals, the tackles, the assists and the chaos down the left wing, and now we get one final Anfield goodbye.

Dalglish finished it simply: “Wee man, wherever you go next – all the very best.”
