Congress to corner Maha govt on drought, price rise in winter

The upcoming winter session of the Maharashtra legislature would see the Congress highlight the BJP-led government's "failure" in dealing with issues like drought, price rise, law and order, a party leader said Friday.

A strategy in this regard was worked out at the meeting of the party's core committee here, Congress MLA and former state minister Naseem Khan said after the meeting.

Khan said the opposition party was also upset with the short span for which the session has been convened as it would be difficult for the legislators to raise concerns of the people of the entire state during the period.

The session, beginning here in November 19, is set to be a two-week-long affair.

"We will aggressively take up issues relating to farmers, drought, price rise, law and order, corruption in Mumbai's development plan and others during the session," he added.
