Speaking at the 'Jal Akrosh Morcha', a protest march organised by the BJP to highlight the local problems, senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis accused the MVA ministers of being busy collecting commission and indulging in extortion. Fadvavis stated that the MVA was functioning 'Ram bharose' (at God's mercy).

"Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray did not step into Mantralaya (state secretariat) for two years, so how can he know the pain and sufferings of common people and farmers. The MVA government is functioning 'Ram bharose'. It has failed on all fronts...," Fadnavis said.
