The latest episode in the ongoing feud between the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and the Raj Bhavan has highlighted the complete breakdown in communication between the two sides. Usually, the Raj Bhavan applies to the general administration department for using the official aircraft; permission is granted immediately, after routine paperwork.
In this case, the Raj Bhavan had applied on February 2, but the chief minister’s office (CMO) did not respond. The CMO said it had informed the Raj Bhavan on February 10 that permission had not yet been granted. “The Raj Bhavan secretariat should have confirmed beforehand whether permission was granted or not. The honourable governor got delayed because of this. The state government is not at fault,” said a statement issued by the CMO. It also said that Uddhav was clear that the concerned official in the Raj Bhavan was to blame.
