A day after the supporters of two legislators clashed within the Vidhan Bhavan premises, Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on Friday announced that visitors would not be permitted in the legislature complex during the Maharashtra Monsoon Session 2025. Only ministers, legislators, their personal secretaries, and officials will be granted access.

Making the announcement in the Lower House of the state legislature, Narwekar also stated that an ethics committee — empowered to disqualify members — would be constituted within a week.

On Thursday, supporters of Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) legislator Jitendra Awhad and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Gopichand Padalkar clashed inside the Maharashtra legislature complex, just a day after a heated exchange between the two lawmakers.
