Mumbai, Sep 6 (PTI) Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Friday hit out at the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government for a “complete breakdown” of the law and order situation, and demanded imposition of President’s rule in the state.
Talking to PTI Videos, the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly said more than 200 incidents of violence have been reported in the state of late.
“Law and order is just for namesake. The home department is a complete failure. Those in charge are totally immersed in politics and have left people in the lurch,” he charged.
“President’s rule should be imposed in the state by dismissing this government,” Wadettiwar said.
Replying to questions, he described as “shocking” the incident in Gadchiroli district in eastern Maharashtra, where two children died due to lack of medical facilities.
“It is a blot on the state. The children had to be carried by their parents who walked for 15 km to get treatment as there were no doctors in their village…What are the health minister and guardian minister doing?” he asked. PTI MR MVG NP
