Congress leaders in Nagpur criticized PM Modi and Devendra Fadnavis over the allocation of MLC posts, accusing the ruling alliance of manipulating the political script.
In a sharp political move, the Indian National Congress has launched a sustained attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis regarding the recent developments in the Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) polls. The party's leadership in Nagpur alleged that the ruling alliance is manipulating the political narrative to consolidate power.
During a public address in Nagpur, Congress leaders accused the central and state governments of using the MLC posts as political leverage. They claimed that the allocation of these positions was not based on merit or constitutional norms but was a strategic move to flip the script in their favor.
The opposition party framed the issue as a broader attack on democratic principles, suggesting that the actions of the ruling party undermine the spirit of federalism. Congress emphasized that such maneuvers are intended to distract from other governance issues while strengthening their grip on the state assembly.
The rally in Nagpur served as a platform for the Congress to mobilize its base against the BJP-led government. By directly naming the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister, the party aimed to keep the pressure on the ruling duo, highlighting the contentious nature of the MLC elections in Maharashtra.
