Asserting that the Congress party stands with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, on Thursday said that the BJP was trying to bring down the government in the State with an eye on the Presidential polls.
“The BJP is trying to destabilise the Maharashtra government because they want numbers for the Presidential elections,” Mr. Kharge told reporters, adding that the pattern followed in Maharashtra is similar to how Opposition governments in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh were brought down.
“I can directly say that the Central government and the BJP are interfering to destabilise a stable government. All these things like shifting of MLAs to BJP-ruled States like Gujarat and Assam cannot happen in a day’s time,” he noted.
