Senior leaders from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition in Maharashtra launched a joint criticism against the state government at the end of the monsoon assembly session. Congress leader Nana Patole, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Bhaskar Jadhav, and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Jayant Patil targeted the ruling dispensation on issues concerning farmers, infrastructure corruption, declining educational standards, and delays in appointing the Leader of the Opposition.
Nana Patole expressed that public trust in the government has eroded, with farmers actively opposing its policies. He demanded a complete, unconditional waiver of agricultural loans despite the government’s recent relaxation of certain conditions. Patole also highlighted delays in addressing farmers’ concerns and criticized infrastructure projects for alleged corruption.
The leaders condemned the government’s approach of intimidating critics and raised concerns about financial irregularities in managing religious shrines. They pointed out the closure of schools in the state over the past decade and criticized the inadequate budget allocation for education. The MVA leaders expressed disappointment over the government’s failure to designate a Leader of the Opposition officially.
