CM says Congress aims to sow chaos and reject constitutional order

Maharashtra’s chief minister Devendra Fadnavis delivered a stern statement on October 6, accusing the Congress and its partner parties of deliberately creating unrest to damage the nation’s constitutional institutions. He said the opposition’s approach is a “well‑thought‑out strategy” whose ultimate goal is to break the public’s faith in democratic mechanisms.

Fadnavis explained that the repeated claims of institutional failure are meant to convince citizens that the Constitution cannot deliver justice, thereby fostering a climate where the document itself is denied legitimacy. He warned that this is a prelude to a radical left‑wing regime.

The CM also touched upon a controversy involving a Mumbai‑Delhi flight, alleging that it was funded by the ruling party and demanding a thorough audit of electoral bonds before any commentary. He dismissed the opposition’s queries as “foolish” and said he had no time for such distractions.

Regarding the SIR controversy, he highlighted that numerous voter names were removed from the electoral roll during the investigation, insisting that every eligible voter should be retained on the list.

Fadnavis reaffirmed that peaceful protest is a constitutional right, but accused the current government of blocking opposition leaders from reaching the Parliament. He also condemned an alleged incident where a polling official instructed an elderly woman to vote at a specific booth, calling it a breach of democratic norms.
