Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Rai and senior Maharashtra Congress leader and former state president Nana Patole on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Congress leader raised questions about the conduct of local civic body elections by the Maharashtra Election Commissioner.
"The Delhi blast is a cowardly attack on our country. Modi has misled the country. The Central government has failed in safeguarding the country's security and it must take responsibility for this failure," Patole said.
The Congress MLA said some ministers of the state have also been caught in honeytraps laid to get access to confidential information from government files.
The fourth day of the monsoon session of the Maharashtra assembly commenced here on Thursday with the Opposition targeting the Fadnavis-led Mahayuti government for alleged irregularities in municipal waste management.
"We hope the government will consider this proposal positively," Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Nana Patole said.
"They want someone who will sell Maharashtra, which is why they will appoint a person as Chief Minister who will blindly sign documents benefiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s favourite industrialists friends," he said.
Following Sule’s dismissal of the allegations, the BJP maintained that the more she defended herself, the more she cornered herself.
Maharashtra government had earlier informed Supreme Court that all guilty police officials have been punished or suspended from services.
Senior Congress tribal leader and former union minister Manikrao Gavit passed away due to age-related illness at a hospital here on Saturday, a party leader said.
