Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led government over the deteriorating COVID-19 situation in the state, saying Maharashtra has become the epicentre of the infection.

"This government is not bothered about the COVID-19 situation in the state. The way in which cases are increasing here, it has become the epicentre," Fadnavis said while speaking at a press conference.
