After questioning both the parties Shivsena and NCP denied the comment by the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, that Congress is not the decision making party
MUMBAI| Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has called a meeting of his alliance partners day after the rumours took off about the government falling in the state. The speculation peaked over strained ties after a meeting between the chief minister and his ally Sharad Pawar of the NCP.
After questioning both the parties Shivsena and NCP denied the comment by the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, that Congress is not the decision making party in the state and are the only supporter in the alliance.
Sharad Pawar also denied many rumours and stated the meets are just to rethink on his part.
Sharad Pawar while talking to media said, “But there is no threat to the Maharashtra government. All MLAs are with us, any attempt to break them at this time will result in the public beating us.”
Maharashtra remains the worst-hit state in India’s battle with coronavirus. The city of Mumbai has the maximum number of cases in the country.
The opposition BJP has been attacking the state government over its handling of the pandemic. Senior BJP leader Narayan Rane has said that the state should be put under President’s Rule with the government of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray being removed.
Mr Pawar was instrumental in crafting an alliance of the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress and their new government called the Maha Vikas Aghadi, took charge of the state.
