The Free Press Journal|October 17, 2021
The Leader of Opposition, Devendra Fadnavis, on Saturday hit out at the Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over his allegation that the Centre is using the seizure of drugs in the cruise liner case to defame the state. He asked Thackeray whether he was on the side of drug consumers, sellers, or those fighting against the drug menace.

'Vasuli' govt most corrupt: Fadnavis

On Friday, Thackeray had attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for deploying the central probe agencies -- the Enforcement Directorate, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Income Tax department and the Narcotics Control Bureau to discredit the state and hound political opponents.

“Today, drugs are like cancer that has afflicted our youth. Whose side are you on?” questioned Fadnavis.

He further took a dig at Thackeray, saying that he should worry about the corruption in his government.

“The way things are unfolding during the Income Tax raids in the state, his name will be recorded as the chief of the most corrupt government in Maharashtra,” he stated. “Some Ministers even have a softa ware for ‘vasuli' (extortion),” Fadnavis charged.
