Maha: Oppn parties accuse govt failure on Nagpur violence

Mumbai, Mar 19 (UNI) The Opposition parties on Wednesday strongly criticised the Mahayuti government over recent violence in Nagpur in the Maharashtra Assembly and blamed administration for its alleged failure to maintain law and order.
Speaking in the lower house, Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar said Nagpur is the home turf of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
"Who lit the fire there? ...If the violence was pre-planned, what happened was due to the intelligence failure. Police were nowhere to be seen for one-and-a-half hours after the violence broke out," he alleged.
