On March 8, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Devendra Fadnavis dropped what has been termed the “pen drive bomb” in Maharashtra’s political circles.
In the state assembly, Fadnavis alleged that the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government had conspired against BJP leader Girish Mahajan and that there was evidence to support Fadnavis’s allegations in a pen drive that contained 125 hours of video recordings. Fadnavis further alleged the MVA government has been using state machinery to target other BJP leaders as well.
