Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik slammed opposition leaders over Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh’s controversy and said the CM will speak at the right time and that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has support of more than 175 MLAs.
He claimed the MVA- comprising the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress- has support of more than 175 MLAs.
The state Assembly has 288 MLAs.
Malik’s reaction came after a BJP delegation met Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Wednesday morning and requested him to send a report on the current situation in the state to President Ram Nath Kovind.
Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who led the delegation, questioned Thackeray’s “silence” on various issues.
The BJP has been targeting the Thackeray-led government over former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh’s graft charges against state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and also on a purported state intelligence department report on “corruption” in police transfers in Maharashtra.
