He said that there bright traditional opposition leader in the State.

“Manohar Joshi was elected opposition leader in 1990 after Shiv Sena and BJP alliance. He worked very seriously. Present opposition leader in the State Devendra Fadnavis o is a very studious leader, but he is working to topple the Government than working as opposition leader,” he added.
