Congress Alleges Law And Order Breakdown In Maharashtra

Maharashtra Congress President Harshvardhan Sapkal on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the ruling Mahayuti government, alleging a complete breakdown of law and order in the state and accusing it of “pushing Maharashtra towards crisis.” 

Mr Sapkal claimed that the spread of drug networks from ports like Kandla into Maharashtra has reached even smaller towns, endangering the youth. He alleged political patronage behind such activities and warned that the people will not forgive the BJP-led Mahayuti



government.

The Congress state chief’s remark came a day after two MBA students died allegedly due to a suspected drug overdose after attending a music event at the NESCO Centre in Goregaon in Mumbai. 

The incident took place on the night of April 11, when about 4,000 people attended the concert by paying an entry fee of Rs 2,000. 

Referring to Goregaon incidents, Mr Sapkal questioned how drug and alcohol parties could take place near a police station at NESCO, calling it a sign of police administration failure.
