COVID-19: BJP announces "Maharashtra Bachao" protest against MVA govt

The BJP will launch "Maharashtra Bachao" agitation from Tuesday against the "complete failure" of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in tackling the COVID-19 crisis.

BJP leader and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the COVID-19 situation has gone out of hands in Mumbai and rest of Maharashtra because of the government's failure.

Fadnavis and other senior leaders, including state unit president Chandrakant Patil, and others held a video conference meeting on Monday.

"BJP leaders will submit their demands with officials in various talukas and districts as part of the process," Patil said.

He said the party leaders and workers will stand outside their houses on May 22 with placards condemning the state government's failure in mitigating the situation.
