Maha: Ajit Pawar slams govt for absence of ministers during budget session

Mumbai, Mar 25 (PTI) Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly Ajit Pawar on Saturday criticized the Eknath Shinde-led government over the absence of ministers during the budget session.

The Nationalist Congress Party leader, along with leaders of the Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) which are constituents of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, addressed a press conference after the budget session concluded earlier in the day.

“There was absence of ministers in the House, their participation was not seen. When we were in power, if the concerned cabinet minister was not present, the minister of state in charge of that department would take over," Pawar said.
