Fadnavis Defends Strong Governance Amidst Political Criticism

Maharashtra CM, Devendra Fadnavis, counters critiques on BJP's autonomy and addresses opposition allegations. Fadnavis refutes 'crutches' reliance, condemns politicization of a doctor’s suicide, and rectifies voter roll concerns as deceptive. He clarifies government stance on a land dispute involving the Jain community and Pune MP Murlidhar Mohol.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responded firmly to remarks made by Union Minister Amit Shah, asserting that the BJP operates independently and not on 'crutches'. He criticized opposition parties for misunderstanding this analogy.

Fadnavis condemned the opposition's attempts to politicize a sensitive issue—the suicide of a woman doctor in Satara—calling out their motives for sensationalism. He assured that no one involved would be spared.

Amid criticism over the electoral roll, he emphasized that doubts over voter lists are misplaced and a strategy by the opposition facing electoral defeat. Fadnavis also addressed controversies over the sale of land owned by a Jain trust, affirming the decision aligned with community interests, and dismissed allegations involving Pune MP Murlidhar Mohol.
