MVA MLAs in Maharashtra should join the BJP as the ruling alliance is beset with corruption, Union Minister Bhagwat Karad said on March 19. He said the state cannot progress under such a coalition and it was imperative Maharashtra has a BJP government.

"There are corruption allegations against several MVA ministers. In such a scenario, a government of three parties cannot bring about progress, for that Maharashtra needs a BJP government. Any MLA who really wants progress must join the BJP," he told a Marathi news channel here.
