डॉ. नितीन राऊत : "नरेंद्र मोदी व देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांनी मुंगेरीलालसारखे स्वप्न बघणे बंद करावे" : संजय पाटील

 

संजय पाटील : नागपूर प्रेस मीडिया : 27 मे 2020 : राज्यातील महाविकास आघाडी सरकार अस्थिर करण्यासाठी भाजपची धडपड चालली आहे. पंतप्रधान नरेंद्र मोदी व देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांनी मुंगेरीलालसारखे स्वप्न बघणे बंद करावे, असा घणाघाती टीका ऊर्जामंत्री डॉ. नितीन राऊत यांनी केली आहे. सद्य:स्थितीत 'कोव्हिड-१९'वर सर्वांनी एकत्र येऊन मात करणे आवश्यक आहे. असे असताना भाजप सत्तेसाठी धडपडत आहे. देशात मृत्यूचे सर्वांत कमी प्रमाण महाराष्ट्रात आहे. सर्वाधिक मृत्यू गुजरातमध्ये आहेत. राज्यातील स्थिती नियंत्रणात आहे. जनतेच्या मनातून करोनाची भीती कमी झाली आहे. केंद्र सरकारकडून राज्याला अपेक्षित मदत मिळालेली नाही. भाजप इतका बेजबाबदार पक्ष देशात दुसरा कोणताही नाही. करोनाच्या नावाखाली महाराष्ट्रातील सरकार अस्थिर करण्याचे भाजपचे कारस्थान यशस्वी होणार नाही. सर्व संकटावर महाराष्ट्र सरकार मात करेल, असा विश्वासही डॉ. राऊत यांनी व्यक्त केला.

"Gujarat Worse", Start There: Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut On President's Rule Over COVID-19

Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut today hit back at BJP MP Narayan Rane's demand for President's Rule in Maharashtra, saying Gujarat's performance in handling the COVID-19 crisis is "worse", hence it deserves to be put under the central rule first. Without specifying any party or leader, Mr Raut said the opposition should get "quarantined", and that their efforts to destabilise the Maharashtra government could boomerang.

However, senior BJP leader and former minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said though the COVID-19 situation in Maharashtra is "grim", it does not qualify for President's rule. Narayan Rane, who is the Rajya Sabha member, on Monday met Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari and demanded imposition of President's Rule in view of the Shiv Sena-led state government's "failure" in tackling the pandemic.

Reacting to it, Mr Raut said, "If you go by the Gujarat High Courts strictures on tackling the COVID-19 crisis, the states performance is worse compared to Maharashtra." "If the President's Rule has to be imposed, the Centre should start with Gujarat first," Mr Raut told reporters.

He also dismissed speculations over the "stability" of the three-party (Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress) alliance government in Maharashtra. "It is better that the opposition should get quarantined. Their efforts to destabilise the Maharashtra government could boomerang. The opposition is yet to find a formula to bring down this government," the Sena's Rajya Sabha member said.

On NCP chief Sharad Pawars meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday, Mr Raut said, Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought advice from Sharad Pawar. There should be no objection to Mr Pawar making any suggestions or discussing issues with Thackeray.

Meanwhile, Mr Mungantiwar said the opposition BJP in Maharashtra is not of the opinion that President's Rule should be imposed in the state. "The situation in Maharashtra is grim, but it does not qualify for Presidents rule. We feel the current state government is not serious enough to tackle the situation," the BJP leader told a news channel, reported news agency Press Trust of India. There are enough resources with Maharashtra to contain the coronavirus spread, but the state government is "not making enough efforts," he claimed.
