Congress claims ‘conflict of interest’ against Maharashtra ministers
New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday sharpened its attack on the Maharashtra government, alleging existence of a few cases of “Maha conflict of interest” as a number of ministers are holding key positions in construction and other private companies.
“Maharashtra health minister (Deepak Sawant) is also director of an Eye Hospital. If this isn’t conflict of Interest, then what is it?” Congress’ official twitter handler INC India said in a tweet about about the Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena government.
It cited similar instances of other ministers, like Minister of State for Housing Ravindra Waikar, PWD Minister Chandrakant Patil, Women and Child Welfare Minister Pankaja Munde, Minister of State for Industries Pravin Patil and Minister of State for Finance Deepak Kesarkar.
The Congress said in another tweet: “Maha conflict of Interest in @Dev_Fadnavis’ Government. Shouldn’t these Ministers step down?”
The Congress alleged that while Pankaja Munde is on the board of at least five companies, Minister for Housing Waikar is on the board of a construction firm.
Similary, junior minister Pravin Patil is on the board of Pravin Builders and Developers, the Congress alleged.
While Deepak Sawant is a legislator from the Shiv Sena, Pankaja Munde is the BJP legislator from Parli.
In another tweet, the party slammed the Maharashtra government for water crisis in parts of the state. “The anti-people face of the BJP stands exposed. Shows no compassion for a parched population,” it said.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
