Ajit Pawar lash out at Maharashtra government over absence of Ministers during special sitting; Fadnavis apologises

The Hindu  

Expressing regret over the absence of ministers in the Assembly during the special sitting of the House due to which seven of the eight calling attention notices had to be postponed on Wednesday, Deputy Chief Minster Devendra Fadnavis said all ministers will be told to be present when issues concerning their departments are taken up in the legislature. Mr. Fadnavis’s apology came after Leader of Opposition in State Assembly and Nationalist Congress Party senior leader Ajit Pawar lashed out at the Shinde-Fadnavis government over the absence of ministers during the special sitting. Countering the Deputy Chief Minister’s statement that the order of the day came post-midnight, and the ministers concerned did not get time for briefing, Mr. Pawar said that the notices listed were the ones which had been postponed. However, Mr. Fadnavis said that it was a “right decision”, and the decision has been taken by the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray of which Mr. Pawar was a part.
