Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Apr 15 (PTI) Shiv Sena MLA Santosh Bangar has once again targeted some ministers in the Mahayuti government, saying those who do not take phone calls of legislators and common party workers have no right to call themselves ministers.

Speaking to a Marathi news channel, he also said that ministers should not restrict themselves to their constituencies alone and they should visit every corner of the state to work for the party.

Bangar represents the Kalamnuri assembly constituency in Hingoli district of the Marathwada region in the state.

Recently, a video went viral, in which Bangar slammed state ministers for being inaccessible. He alleged that power has “gone to the heads” of some members of the cabinet.

In his latest statement made to the channel, he said, “When the party gives some people ministerial responsibility, they should not remain limited to their constituencies. They should go to every corner of the state and work for the party.” “The ministers should also see what is happening in other constituencies and districts. They should answer phone calls from common party workers and MLAs. If they are not answering calls, they have no right to call themselves ministers,” Bangar said.

He refused to name any minister.

“The ministers concerned will get the message. There is no need to tell (Shiv Sena chief) Eknath Shinde anything as he is a leader connected to the ground. The ministers should follow Eknath Shinde and Shrikant Shinde in this regard.” PTI AW NP
