Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who holds the home portfolio, is increasingly being targeted by the opposition over the functioning of the state police. Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president Nana Patole, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, and NCP (Sharad Pawar) MP Supriya Sule are all making a concerted attack on him because of lapses on the part of the police.
The Pune police caused a major embarrassment to Fadnavis by its unprofessional handling of the May 19 Porsche accident. Because of the gross failure on the part of the police, the Juvenile Justice Board effectively took the minor at the wheel who fatally knocked down two young engineers. This created a national uproar. Realising the gravity of the situation, Fadnavis rushed to Pune in a damage control exercise. But by then the shenanigans of the police were in the open.
