Summary:
Mumbai, Oct 23 (PTI) BJP leader Ashish Shelar on Saturday took a veiled swipe at the NCP"s Nawab Malik, saying the "minister whose son-in-law was arrested for possessing drugs" must be sacked from the Maharashtra cabinet.
"Such ministers malign the image of Maharashtra," Shelar told reporters here, apparently referring to the arrest of Malik"s son-in-law in a drugs case by the Narcotics Control Bureau earlier this year.
Notably, the court which gave bail to the state minority affairs minister"s son-in-law Sameer Khan recently had observed that there was prima facie no evidence against him.
Shelar was countering the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition leaders" accusation that the BJP was defaming Maharashtra.
The motto of the state government seemed to be "I will not work, nor will I let others work," he said.
"Nobody should raise voice against corruption, nor present any evidence of it.
