Cong-NCP merger aimed at bagging post of LoP says Fadnavis
Mumbai, Oct 11: Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, said that senior Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde made a pitch for Congress-NCP merger as he meant to convey that only through this move these parties can bag the post of leader of opposition (LoP) in the assembly.
Fadnavis said the Congress and NCP will not get the numbers required to get the LoP post.
A
political
party
has
to
bag
10
per
cent
of
the
total
number
of
seats
to
get
the
LoP
post.
"Sushilkumar
Shinde
said
in
Solapur
that
they
are
now
tired
and
cannot
work
now.
He
pitched
for
the
merger
of
NCP
and
Congress.
Shinde
is
a
leader
with
foresight
...
he
knows
what
the
situation
is,"
the
chief
minister
said.
He was addressing a public rally in Phaltan in Satara district, where BJP-Shiv Sena-RPI(A) candidate Digambar Aagwane is in the fray.
Fadnavis added that Shinde can foresee the condition of both the parties post-election.
"He knows that both the parties will not even get 10 per cent seats required to elect the Leader of Opposition and that is why he pitched for merger of both the parties so that together they can get 10 per cent seats and secure the post of LoP," he said.
Fadnavis said that the ongoing assembly poll campaign is a one-sided affair as the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance has no real opponent.
"Even a child will tell that the state assembly polls are pre-decided and it's a foregone conclusion that the BJP- Sena are set to retain power with a better margin," he said.
Even Rahul Gandhi has conceded defeat and that is why he left for Bangkok in the midst of the election campaign, Fadnavis alleged.
He said that in the 15 years of the Congress-NCP rule, the erstwhile government did not think about the common man who in turn taught them a lesson in 2014.
"My government has done better than the 15-year rule of the Congress and NCP," he claimed. Fadnavis also said he will ensure that Maharashtra is made drought-free in the next five years. He also promised that urban and rural infrastructure in the state will be upgraded.
