With the Lok Sabha elections approaching, the Maharashtra Police are worried about the fallout of the rift between different political factions affecting law and order adversely. The police’s worry stems from the spate of shootouts in the state, all of which are rooted in political enmity, which might get worse as elections draw closer.
On Friday, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah about the dire law and order situation in the State of Maharashtra. “The rampant use of firearms to intimidate innocent civilians and public representatives has plunged the state into a perpetual state of fear and insecurity. Despite law and order being a state subject, the Government of Maharashtra’s failure to address these recurring incidents reflects a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of its citizens,” she said in her letter.
