The opposition addressed the media separately and also cited the plane crash to question the government. “The government has given only two explanations that no one should raise questions about the accident. Why not? Was it a conspiracy or an accident? This issue is being discussed across the country,” said Congress MP Vijay Wadettiwar. The CM pointed out the absence of the NCP (SP) from the opposition press conference, a six-page letter from the opposition signed by a former MLA organized by Sharad Pawar and numerous grammatical errors in the letter highlighting 18 issues. Sena (UBT) MLA Bhaskar Jadhav later said the NCP (SP) netas were late due to miscommunication. “But we are all united as MVA,” he asserted. While Sena (UBT) MP Aaditya Thackeray pointed to the vacancy in the posts of Leader of Opposition in both Houses and asked why the Mahayutth government was “scared” of the post when it has an absolute majority, Fadnavis said the decisions would be taken by the Speaker of the Assembly and the Chairman of the Legislative Council. Congress MLC Satej Patil demanded the resignation of FDA Minister Narhari Zirwal from the NCP in connection with the bribery case involving a staff member of his Mantrayala office. The chief minister said his name did not come up in the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) probe. Acknowledging that the incident had affected the government’s image, Fadnavis said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, which is why you see so many cases of action. I have given clear instructions to the ACB that action must be taken if any such corruption is found in his office. ” Thackeray also took a dig at Mahayutty, saying there was growing competition among ministers, possibly referring to Fadnavis and deputy Eknath Shinde, who are “underlings” in the government. He also criticized the government for providing only Rs 5 lakh compensation to the family members of the victims of the Mulund Metro concrete railing accident. Wadetiwar said the new India-US trade deal “will crush farmers” and pointed to the ongoing farmer suicide crisis in Maharashtra. Shinde urged the opposition to attend the budget session and not sit on the steps of the National Assembly to oppose the government. “The government will address all the issues raised by the opposition in the House,” he said.
