Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has publicly accused the previous Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) government of orchestrating a conspiracy to imprison him and other leaders through fabricated cases. In a statement made today, Fadnavis claimed that efforts were made during the MVA regime to frame him and his associates, but these attempts were ultimately thwarted.
Addressing the media, Fadnavis asserted, “During the Mahavikas Aghadi government, a deliberate conspiracy was hatched to arrest me by making false cases. We were successful in exposing these conspiracies at that time, and we even provided video evidence to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). We still have many such video proofs today.”
The Deputy CM elaborated on the alleged plot, stating that certain officials were assigned the task of implicating several leaders, including himself, Girish Mahajan, and Praveen Darekar, in false charges. According to Fadnavis, some officers were willing to pursue these fabricated cases, but the plans were derailed by other officials who refused to cooperate.
Fadnavis’s comments reflect ongoing tensions and allegations from the previous government’s tenure. The Deputy Chief Minister’s accusations highlight a broader conflict over the legacy of the MVA government and its actions during its time in power.
The Mahavikas Aghadi government, a coalition of the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Indian National Congress (INC), was in office from 2019 to 2024. The coalition faced significant political scrutiny and allegations from various quarters during its administration.
Fadnavis’s revelations, accompanied by claims of possessing video evidence, further intensify the political discourse in Maharashtra. The accusations are likely to stir debates and may lead to calls for further investigations into the actions of the previous government.
As the political landscape in Maharashtra continues to evolve, the impact of these allegations and the subsequent responses from the involved parties will be closely watched.
