He claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party was contesting in an attempt to save the "distressed" people of the state as the Devendra Fadnavis government has been a colossal failure in Maharashtra.
Once a progressive state, it is now plagued by drought, floods, farmer suicides, agrarian distress, unemployment, failing law and order and crime," he said.
He announced that the party's campaign committee for the Maharashtra polls will have Ranga Rachure as the convener, Kishore Mandhyan as co-convener and Dhananjay Shinde as secretary.
Earlier, the party had skipped the April-May Lok Sabha polls in the state.
