Ashok Chavan, a Maharashtra minister, and senior Congress politician stated on Sunday that the Narendra Modi administration has failed to handle the COVID-19 epidemic adequately, resulting in the loss of 12.21 crore jobs.
Speaking at a virtual news conference as the Modi administration completed two years of its second term, and seven altogether, Mr. Chavan said the Centre had retained all decision-making powers but was now blaming state governments after the COVID-19 epidemic spiraled out of control.
When asked whether he had a favorite minister in the Modi regime, Mr. Chavan said “positive things” could be spoken about Union Minister and Nagpur MP Nitin Gadkari, who maintained “conversation with other parties” despite ideological disagreements.
“He’s the decent person in the wrong party He has a favorable attitude about Maharashtra, but his abilities are constantly being limited “Mr. Chavan stated, although he did not expand on his claim.
“The price of gasoline has risen to 100 per litre. 12.21 key employees have been laid off. Bangladesh currently has a greater per capita income than India. The Centre’s policies have wreaked havoc on the country “According to the former Maharashtra chief minister.
Mr. Chavan said that the Centre treated Maharashtra unfairly on all fronts, including assistance and GST compensation.
He also chastised the BJP for the Maratha quota problem, urging the governing party at the Centre to find a solution after the Supreme Court knocked down a state law guaranteeing the community reservations in jobs and education on May 5.
He thanked BJP Rajya Sabha MP Sambhaji Chhatrapati for his efforts to engage with leaders from all parties to reach an agreement on the Maratha quota issue.
