Nana Patole says in 100 days of Shinde-BJP government, leaders only accepted invitations, visited pandals

The opposition Congress took potshots at the Eknath Shinde- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Maharashtra over completion of 100 days in office, saying during the period its leaders have only visited Ganpati and Navratri pandals and worked to save the ruling coalition.

In these 100 days, the Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government has worked to drive away mega projects like the Foxconn-Vedanta semiconductor plant, which was initially planned in Maharashtra, but was later shifted to adjoining Gujarat, said state Congress president Nana Patole said.

As per the report of PTI, Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde and BJP's Fadnavis took oath as chief minister and deputy CM, respectively, on June 30 after the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.

The Congress leader claimed farmers, whose crops were damaged due to heavy rains, have got little help from the state government. Patole alleged the law and order situation in the state has "deteriorated" ever since the new government assumed office.
