BJP leader Eknath Khadse, who is also the leader of the opposition
in the assembly, criticized the Congress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led
Democratic Front government for having failed on all fronts.
Khadse
attacked Chavan’s government for the recent serial bomb blasts in Mumbai and
the failure of the investigating agencies to arrest those responsible for the
attacks. “The Congress-NCP government has failed on all fronts, there is no
coordination between the ministers and there is no concern over the issues
concerning the people,” Khadse said.
To a
question whether the opposition would seek the resignation of Home Minister R.R.
Patil over the bomb blasts, Khadse said it was necessary for the entire
government to resign instead of one minister.
“The chief
minister must use his powers, otherwise a picture of the chief minister being
weak will be created. Khadse said while commenting about the bickering between
the allies over Chavan’s remarks on power-sharing.
Shiv Sena
group leader in the assembly Subash Desai said the incumbent government was the
“most useless government so far” and warned they would not tolerate any move to
encroach on religious practices through the Black Magic Prohibition Bill.
