Leaders of Maharashtra`s opposition parties gathered for a protest at Vidhan Bhavan in Nagpur, voicing their worries about the state`s growing drug problem and accusing some ministers of providing cover to infamous drug dealer Lalit Patil. Congress, the Sharad Pawar faction of the NCP, and the Shiv Sena all joined forces to chant anti-government slogans as members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi.
MLC Satej Patil, opposition leader in the legislative assembly Vijay Wadettiwar, council leader Ambadas Danve, and other lawmakers brought attention to the startling increase in drug addiction among young people in Maharashtra during the protest. Drawing a comparison, Wadettiwar said that the circumstances were similar to the 2016 movie "Udta Punjab," which showed a drug crisis in the state`s north.
