Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday announced that senior Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) official Akhikesh Shukla whose goons allegedly assaulted his Maharashtrian neighbours with iron rods in a suburban Kalyan-based housing society, has been suspended with immediate effect.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made his first speech on Thursday, the fourth day of the six-day winter session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, in Nagpur.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh from Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) for the next of kin of each deceased in the boat mishap in Mumbai on Wednesday.
The Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government has failed to announce the ministerial portfolios of the 39 ministers, even two days after the state assembly's winter session began on Monday as well as the swearing- in ceremony on Sunday.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will expand his cabinet on December 15 at Nagpur and not on December 14 in Mumbai.
Fadnavis issued a veiled warning that if the BJP offices were targeted and the police remained mute spectators, there would be repercussions as the BJP activists are also street-fighters who are fully capable of protecting themselves but urged for restraint.
“I travelled in Delhi Metro today to return back to the airport & reached in a very short span as compared to travel by road! Don’t know when will I be able to travel in Mumbai Metro 3 to the airport, looking at the things messed up by MVA on CarShed issues #Metro #Mumbai,” Fadnavis tweeted.
Devendra Fadnavis had been overseeing the poll campaign along with Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi. Modi had tested positive for Covid on Thursday.
'Devendra Fadnavis is not our enemy. We have worked with him. I met Fadnavis for his interview for Saamna,' he said.
The meeting is quite significant as it comes amid the cloud of uncertainty over Nitish Kumar’s alliance with the Lok Janshakti Party led by Chirag Paswan.
