Mumbai: A delegation of opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders led by former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today met Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at the Raj Bhavan in Mumbai.
The delegation including State BJP unit chief Chandrakant Patil, Sudhir Mungantiwar and Ashish Shelar met Koshyari amid extortion allegations levelled against Stateās Home Minister Anil Deshmukh by former Mumbai top cop Param Bir Singh.
They submitted a memorandum to the Governor requesting him to send a report on current situation in Maharashtra to President Ram Nath Kovind.
Devendra Fadnavis questioned Congress’ silence on the ongoing political crisis in the State and said that it must be getting some share in the extortion amount.
“The extortion row, transfer racket should be probed. In the āMaha Vasooli Sarkarā, what is the entity of the Congress. They must be getting some share in this extortion amount and that is why they are silent. This government has left morality and democracy,” he said.
