'Black chapter' in India's history: Congress
The Congress on Saturday termed the swearing in of Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra chief minister a "black chapter" in India's history and asserted that the BJP acted as a "contract killer" of democracy by forming an "illegitimate" government in the state.
New Delhi/Mumbai: The Congress on Saturday termed the swearing in of Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra chief minister a "black chapter" in India's history and asserted that the BJP acted as a "contract killer" of democracy by forming an "illegitimate" government in the state.
The opposition party also exuded confidence that a government of the Congress, the NCP and the Shiv Sena will be formed in the state.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged that the governor once again proved to be BJP chief Amit Shah's "hitman".
He alleged an "opportunist" Ajit Pawar, the NCP leader who has joined hands with the saffron party, was "scared" by the BJP of being put behind bars.
"The BJP and Ajit Pawar have acted like Duryodhan and Shakuni to rip off and cheat a democratic mandate given by the people of Maharashtra. They have actually betrayed the people," Surjewala said.
