Earlier in the day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Maha Vikas Aghadi government of failing on all fronts while dubbing the ruling alliance in Maharashtra as a “three-wheel auto-rickshaw”.
“This is an unholy alliance made by betraying the people's mandate which was for a BJP-Shiv Sena government led by Devendra Fadnavis,” he said.

Shah, who made the comments after inaugurating a private medical college at Kankavli in Maharashtra's Sindhudurg district, pointed out that no promise was made about sharing of the Chief Minister’s post before the 2019 assembly elections by the then allies BJP and Shiv Sena. He alleged the alliance was formed just for the lust of power.
The Shiv Sena parted ways with the BJP after the assembly elections in 2019 over the issue of sharing the chief ministerial post. The Shiv Sena later forged an alliance with the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to form the government in Maharashtra.
