Law and order situation worsens under BJP
Never before has there been such an aggressive mentality during an election in the state. Maharashtra is a democratic state. However, the law and order situation in our state, especially in Nagpur, has deteriorated under the BJP rule. The gangsters were set free. Our request is that this incident be thoroughly investigated. Those who attacked Deshmukh Saheb and his masterminds should be punished.
