MVA Decides Not to Take Oath as a Mark of Protest Against ‘Vote-Stealing’ Government: Nana Patole

Published

on

Despite the BJP alliance forming the government after the state assembly elections, the public sentiment is that this government does not reflect their votes. It is not a government of the people’s mandate. The sentiment of the people in Markadwadi mirrors that of the majority in the state. Respecting public opinion, members of the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) have decided not to take their oath today, stated Nana Patole, President of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee.

Speaking to the media in the Assembly premises, Nana Patole said that MVA leaders would meet with NCP President Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray to strategize the next steps. He added, “The BJP alliance government is not the people’s government. After coming to power through vote theft, they wasted crores of rupees on an extravagant swearing-in ceremony at Azad Maidan. Meanwhile, suicides among youth and farmers have increased, with 773 farmers ending their lives in the Nagpur region alone. Yet, the BJP alliance remains indifferent and chose to celebrate their government formation lavishly.”

Markadwadi’s Fight.

“The responsibility to protect democracy and voting rights lies with us,” Patole said. He emphasized Congress’ resolve to spread the spark ignited in Markadwadi across the nation. Discussions with Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, have already been held, and preparations for a movement demanding ballot paper voting are underway in Delhi. Once everything is in place, a decision will be made to make the Markadwadi movement a nationwide one, he stated.

Commenting on the Income Tax Department’s return of Ajit Pawar’s seized assets worth ₹1,000 crores, Patole said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s slogan of ‘Na khaunga, na khane dunga’ (Neither will I indulge in corruption, nor allow others to) does not apply to his own people. This is an attempt to cover up the corrupt dealings of leaders allied with the BJP,” he added.
