Mumbai: Congress legislature party leader Balasaheb Thorat on Monday described as baseless and false all reports on the possibility of a section of Congress legislators quitting the party after its poll debacle in Rajasthan, MP and Chhattisgarh.
“These are all rumours. Anti-Congress leaders are spreading these rumours. All such reports are false and baseless.Congress is intact and will fight against anti-government policies of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government,” Thorat said.
Thorat said that at a juncture when the opposition led by the Congress was determined to take on the NDA government, particularly the BJP, such reports were planted for political reasons.
“We will expose the triple-engine government during the ensuing winter session of the state legislature for its failure on all fronts. While the farmers are passing through a critical situation, no steps have been taken by the government to tackle unemployment and it has failed to resolve the row over reservation for Marathas,” he said.
After the 2019 state polls, when the BJP failed to secure a clear majority, the Shiv Sena decided to join hands with the Congress and the NCP and form the government. At the time, the AICC decided to shift all the Congress legislators to Congress-ruled Rajasthan to keep the party intact.
Later, there was a split in the Shiv Sena, when 40 legislators led by Eknath Shinde revolted against Uddhav Thackeray. On July 2, Ajit Pawar revolted against the leadership of Sharad Pawar and joined the government as Dy CM. More than 40 NCP legislators joined Ajit Pawar.
