Mumbai, May 17: Condemning NCP workers for throwing eggs on Union Minister Smriti Irani's convoy, former CM Devendra Fadnavis, decried the law and order situation in Maharashtra. Talking to media, Fadnavis encouraged police to take action against the miscreants, else BJP would give a tit-for-tat response.
Fadnavis remarked, "Every day, they are taking law into their own hands and doing illegal acts. If the workers of the ruling party in Maharashtra started doing such things, then it is clear that there is no law and order in Maharashtra. The attack on Smriti Irani is cowardly. We can also give a tit-for-tat response. But we believe in democracy. But if the police doesn't take appropriate action, we too will have to give a tit-for-tat response. I am warning the police."
The incident took place when the Union Women and Child Development Minister was leaving the Bal Gandharva auditorium in Pune. As per reports, the police subsequently detained an NCP worker in connection with this egg attack. Throughout her visit to Pune, Congress and NCP workers held demonstrations in protest against the soaring prices of essential goods.
