"Chief Minister Fadnavis is running a single-window scheme of giving clean chits to his ministers. This has led to increase in corruption and decisions that are not good for the state," Leader of Opposition in state Legislative Assembly Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said in a press conference here.
"Now, the ministers have become confident that even if they do any wrong, or indulge in mismanagement and corruption, the CM is going to give them a clean chit," Patil alleged.
"However, there was no response from the government," he said.
Over the NIA's decision to drop all charges against Sadhvi Pragya Thakur and five others accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, Patil alleged, "The government pressurised the NIA. It is an insult to say that the then ATS chief Hemant Karkare was wrong in indicting Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur."

Casting doubt over the BJP-led coalition's performance, Patil said he was sure this government will never be able to catch assailants of rationalists Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare.
"The BJP-led state government has failed on all fronts, especially in coping with the drought situation in the state, which is very grim. The government is not taking it seriously, due to which the number of the suicides in the region has gone up. It is not providing succour to the affected farmers," he said.
