Uddhav Thackeray lambasts CM Fadnavis for not appointing LoP

Mumbai, Dec 6 (UNI) Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday targeted the BJP-led Fadnavis government, demanding that if appointment is not made for the post of Leader of Opposition(LoP) in both the legislative assembly as well as the legislative council, then the post of Deputy Chief Minister should be cancelled immediately.
Uddhav Thackeray questioned why the Fadnavis government is afraid to create the post of Leader of Opposition in both the houses- legislative assembly as well as the legislative council.
"We had demanded during the very first session of this government that they should give him the post of Leader of the Opposition. Now a year has passed, but this government has done nothing except make announcements. For the first time in the history of the legislature, there is no Leader of the Opposition in both the houses. This government is strong and it is supported by the central government. Despite this, why is this government afraid to appoint the Leader of the Opposition?" Uddhav Thackeray questioned.
