Unique Protest By Maharashtra Opposition MLAs Over Corruption Outside Assembly: Watch

The protest was rather unique as there was no sloganeering against the government but the protestors sang folk songs and accused the state ministers of irregularities & corruption.

Opposition parties MLAs in Maharashtra held protest on the steps of Vidhan Bhavan, in Nagpur on Tuesday against the state government policies. The protest was rather unique as there was no sloganeering against the government but the protestors sang folk songs and accused the state ministers of irregularities & corruption.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will move a resolution in the State Assembly on Tuesday over the border dispute involving Karnataka.

Speaking to the media today, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, "Today Chief Minister will move a resolution in the state assembly on the border dispute. I hope the resolution will be passed by the majority," reported news agency ANI.

Fadnavis also took a dig at  former CM and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Uddhav Thackeray for requesting the central government to declare "the disputed areas" as a Union Territory. 

"I was surprised that those who spoke yesterday, he did nothing for 2.5 years as CM. The border dispute did not start after our government came to power," Fadnavis was quoted as saying by ANI.

The Deputy Chief Minister also said that previous government's are unnecessarily targeting the Shinde government for the border dispute which is going on for years.

"It started with the creation of Maharashtra and the language-wise formation of provinces. It is going on for years. Since then, for years those who have governments are showing that the border dispute started after our government came. In this way, politics has never happened on the border dispute. We stood with the government every time because the question was of Marathi-speaking people," said Fadnavis.

He further urged opposition parties not to do politics on the issue.

"We never did politics on this issue and we hope that no one does politics on this. People of border areas should feel that entire Maharashtra is with them," Fadnavis added.
