Attacking chief minister Devendra Fadnavis for being on his state-wide pre-election tour despite the floods in Mumbai and surrounding areas, the state Congress has accused the state government of a poor response to the crisis.
"Mumbai is choked due to the rains. Floods have occurred even in areas like Kolhapur and Sangli due to heavy rains. People have lost their lives. The chief minister is responsible for mitigation measures in this situation as the head of the state," charged former MP Nana Patole, who is the chairman of the state Congress campaign committee.
