In a display of confidence, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate has highlighted her party's prospects in the forthcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, pointing to significant challenges confronting the state. She specifically mentioned issues like extensive corruption, controversies such as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue, and localized incidents in Pune and Badlapur.
