BJP receives flak over flood relief material carrying CM Devendra Fadnavis's photo

A day after state water resources minister Girish Mahajan's selfie video from flood-hit Kolhapur went viral, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party received flak after party legislator Suresh Halvankar from Ichalkaranji constituency in the flood-ravaged Kolhapur district printed Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' photograph over the relief material. Opposition Congress and Nationalist Congress Party accused Fadnavis and the BJP of publicity ahead of ensuing assembly election slated for October.
NCP leader Dhananjay Munde attacked the government saying their priority is to print stickers. "Government delayed distribution of relief material by two days as it was busy in designing and printing stickers," Munde alleged.
