Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday slammed the Opposition for targeting his government, saying it should think before talking

Speaking at a news conference on the eve of the state legislature's winter session, he said it has lost confidence due to the BJP's victory in three states in the recently held assembly elections

"Before the election results, the Opposition said (prime minister Narendra) Modi's popularity was waning. But people have put faith in Modi's guarantee. That is why the opposition should think before opening its mouth," Shinde said
