MUMBAI: Claiming the Shiv Sena-led government in Maharashtra has “failed” to check the spread of coronavirus and rising death unlike Kerala, the BJP on Wednesday appealed to the people to register a protest on May 22.
The BJP attack came a day after the Covid-19 number of cases in Maharashtra reached 37,136 with 1,325 deaths.
On the grounds that the health infrastructure in Mumbai has collapsed completely, state BJP unit president Chandrakant Patil on Wednesday said the state government had failed to announce any package for the poor and the needy.
Most affected by the pandemic, Mumbai has informed 22,563 coronaviruses positive cases and 800 deaths.
Patil said that the BJP and the people of the state had initially decided to support the government in view of the magnitude of the Covid-19 of the crisis.
“Maharashtra reported its first coronavairus patient of 9 March, the account is about to reach the 40,000-mark,” he said in a statement.
Patil said while Kerala also reported its first coronairus case the 9 of March, the count in the south of the state remained below 1,000 in a period of 70 days, and the number of fatalities remained under the age of 12 years.
“In contrast, the number of the Covid-19 deaths in Maharashtra has crossed 1,300. This (data) underscores the failure of the Thackeray government,” Patil said.
In such a scenario, people can not leave you now to express anger against the government, he said, adding that the BJP is also obliged to take a position.
On Tuesday, the leaders of the BJP and the workers had submitted memoranda against the government to all the tehsildars of the district and of the collectors as a mark of “Maharashtra Bachao” protest.
“I call on people to protest outside their houses for the celebration of black banners, black ribbons and wear black masks between 11 am and 12 noon on the Friday. They should maintain social distancing during the protest,” Patil said.
The Congress, which is one of the components in the Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), the government, for its part, said that the BJP was “anti-Maharashtra”.
“It is expected that the BJP could get up against the Center of the injustice meted out to Maharashtra and its people in terms of financial aid. It is now clear that the BJP loyalty does not lie with Maharashtra,” state Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said.
Meanwhile, in reference to the Leader of the Opposition Devendra Fadnavis the recent visit of the Governor of BS Koshyari, another Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe claimed that the BJP leader was trying to “destabilize” the MVA government.
“On the face of it, Fadnavis met with the governor to complain of the alleged failure of the government, but the people have seen through his policy of visiting the governor and to the formation of a government in the first hours (in November of last year).
Londhe was referring to the government formed by Fadnavis, a former CM, with the support of the NCP’s Ajit Pawar in the midst of the political instability in the state after the hung verdict in the Assembly. However, the relationship did not last long and the government collapsed within 80 hours.
The Congress spokesperson also asked the BJP to ensure that Maharashtra is paid pending GST reimbursement to the Center as soon as possible.
