Opposition parties today lashed out at Maharashtra Government alleging that it failed to live up to the people's expectations as the Budget Session of the state legislature passed off "without any substantive work".
"People of the state had high aspirations from this new government. Farmers had a ray of hope that their troubles will be solved. But unfortunately, no justice has been given to farmers. With the conclusion of this session, the hopes of the people have also died down," Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil told reporters.
Vikhe Patil, along with the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde, was addressing reporters at Mantralaya on the conclusion of the Budget session of the state Legislature.
Questioning the intention of the state government over closing 12 toll booths in Maharashtra from the midnight of May 31, Munde alleged that the BJP-led government seems to have given ample time to toll booth operators to approach the courts against the closure of toll nakas.
"The government has been very cunning with some of its decisions. What was the need to close toll nakas from May 31 midnight? It seems as if the government intentionally wanted to give time to toll operators to approach the courts and get a stay on its decision. The government would then conveniently wash its hands off, saying that they are helpless and cannot go against the court order," Munde said.
