The Opposition on Monday targeted Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for continuing with his political campaign despite a flood-like situation in several parts of the city.
A party delegation led by state unit’s campaign committee chairman Nana Patole and Mumbai Congress president Eknath Gaikwad met Chief Secretary Ajoy Mehta, who also heads the executive committee for disaster management in the state in this regard on Tuesday.
“At a time when several parts of the state are inundated and people are facing great risks, the Chief Minister, who is also the Chairman of the Disaster Management Authority in the state, is busy using taxpayers’ money for his five-star political campaign. Relief and Rehabilitation Minister Subhash Deshmukh is also missing in action. We have demanded action against both of them as per provision of the National Disaster Management Act, 2005, for dereliction of duty,” Patole said.
