Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday lashed out at Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) over its handling of COVID-19 crisis in Maharashtra. Stating the current situation in mind, Singh said that it seems like a circus is going on instead of governance.
While addressing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers in a virtual ‘Jan Samvad’ rally’, the Union Minister said that the Maharashtra government doesn’t have any vision for development and it was struggling despite the leadership of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar.
“The Maharashtra government is a three-party government. But it seems like there is a circus instead of the government. The Maharashtra government lacks vision for development and is directionless. It is unfortunate to see the state struggling despite a strong leadership of NCP chief Sharad Pawar,” Singh said.
Shiv Sena broke its 35-year-old alliance with the BJP after 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections over tussle regarding the Chief Minister post. While speaking to the party workers, Singh cornered Sena and said that the greed for power has prevailed over political alliance and commitments.
The Union Minister further said that the central government was providing all possible help to the state government here in its fight against COVID-19. It would also extend help for the relief measure to recover from cyclone Nisarga, he said.
The Cyclone Nisarga has affected coastal regions of Maharashtra and the most damage has been caused in the Konkan region. Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has announced ₹200 crores for immediate relief to those affected by the cyclone.
The CM has announced packages for Sindhudurg, Raigad, and Ratnagiri districts which have been affected due to the cyclone. Pawar is also scheduled to visit Raigad and Ratnagiri districts on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
