Time for Fadnavis to get new astrologer, says Cong’s Thorat

Taking a jibe at former chief minister and Leader of Opposition of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Devendra Fadnavis, state Revenue Minister and senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat on Saturday stated it’s time for Fadnavis to get a new astrologer.

“Before the elections, Devendra Fadnavis stated that BJP will win more than 220 seats, then he said there is no way, Congress-Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party can last for more than six months. He has been wrong with all his predictions it seems he needs a good astrologer now,” said Thorat.

The revenue minister further stated he informed Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray that he didn’t want to become guardian minister of Kalhapur.

“We got 11 guardian minister posts in the power sharing agreement with the NCP and the Shiv Sena. I have other responsibilities. I had already declared that I do not wish to be a guardian minister. I have told it to CM,” he said.

Reiterating that the new law would not be implemented in the state, Thorat said: “Anti-CAA protests are being held across the country. The Congress party is extending full support to the people as the Act is against the Constitution. The CAA will not be implemented in Maharashtra.”

Thorat further stressed that the Maharastra government wants to free the farmers from their loans as the state has consistently recorded the highest number of farmer suicides.
