“The Election Commission should act against him,” Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) general secretary Sanjay Dutt said here.
“Fadnavis has breached the election code of conduct by declaring Rs 6,500 crore Development Package for Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC),” he added.
Dutt further said that though Fadnavis had sold future dreams, he had remained mum on the “shoddy” state of affairs in KDMC for which his party BJP is “responsible”.

NCP backs Sena’s attack on Maha govt over additional taxes
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) said here on Sunday that the BJP has no moral right to be in power anymore, taking a cue from Shiv Sena’s criticism of its ally, after the Maharashtra government decided to levy an additional surcharge on various commodities.
“When your own ally (Sena) calls you a pickpocket, do you have the moral right to continue being in power anymore? The Shiv Sena should immediately resign from the government,” NCP’s Mumbai Unit President Sachin Ahir told reporters here.
