Delhi: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Thursday said that he had met President Ram Nath Kovind and demanded President’s Rule in Maharashtra.
“The situation in Maharashtra is out of control. The government is not able to control the surge in Covid-19 cases in the state. They are not able to handle the law and order of the state,” Athawale told a news agency.
“I met President Kovind and gave him a memorandum on behalf of RPI (A) party demanding the President’s Rule in Maharashtra. The situation in Maharashtra is serious,” the union minister said.
Referring to the allegations of the former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh over the involvement of home minister Anil Deshmukh’s involvement in severe “malpractices”, he said, “No inquiry can take place until the Maharashtra government is removed.”
Athawale had earlier sent a letter to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding President’s Rule in Maharashtra.
