Amit Shah’s attacks on the Opposition 

Given his development as the primary opposition face, the ruling alliance also keeps on calling out the NCP and congress party at its rallies. As of late, Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked Congress for its 10 years rule in the state.

He said, “Congress ran the government for 10 years and Sharad Pawar was a Minister but what did he accomplish for Maharashtra? What did Prithviraj Chavan bring to the state from the Union Government? Our work for the last five years outweighs their 50 years."
