The party took out a march, which began from RBI Square and culminated at the District Collectorate, in which former Union minister and All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Mukul Wasnik, former Minister of State and former city MP Vilas Muttemwar, former Maharashtra ministers Satish Chaturvedi, Nitin Raut as well as Anees Ahmed participated.
Speaking to reporters later, Muttemwar said farmers' suicides continue unabated and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis ignores the issue, though he had demanded filing culpable homicide offences against chief ministers of the Congress-led government, when he was in the opposition.
He said that at the national level, Prime Minister Modi maintains a stony silence when chief ministers of BJP ruled states like Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh), Shivraj Singh Chouhan (Madhya Pradesh) and Vasundhara Raje (Rajasthan) stand accused of severe corruption and irregularities.
Wasnik criticised Fadanvis as the most ineffective and incompetent chief minister Maharashtra had ever seen.
He said that at the national level, Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani to Madhya Pradesh Governor Ram Naresh Yadav have been caught on the wrong foot.
