Opposition blames state government for Pune blast
Press Trust of India, Monday February 15, 2010, Mumbai
Alleging failure by the Maharashtra government to act on Central intelligence inputs of a possible terror strike in Pune, Opposition Shiv Sena-BJP MPs walked out of a meeting convened by Chief Minister Ashok Chavan to raise state's issues in Parliament.

"The meeting began with a tribute to those killed in the Pune blast, after which senior Sena leader Manohar Joshi raised the issue of lack of coordination between Centre and state government," senior Sena MP Chandrakant Khaire said.

"We told the Chief Minister that the state government had failed to act on alerts given by Central government and instead, it deployed huge police force for Rahul Gandhi's visit to Mumbai and to ensure release of Shah Rukh Khan's film," Khaire said.

The meeting was convened by Chavan ahead of Parliament session to discuss developmental issues related to Maharashtra, to be raised by members in the House, including issues like scarcity situation in the state.

"The Opposition members told Chavan that the government has deployed thousands of police to guard Rahul Gandhi and SRK's film but left the common man without security," Khaire, Lok Sabha member from Aurangabad, said.

Around 18 Sena-BJP members were present at the meeting, he said. The members walked out of the meeting soon after it began, alleging the government had failed to protect the common man, he said.

The opposition attitude is still not very coopartive on the issue of terrorsim. Its shocking that opposition Shiv Sena craet law & order problems in state either in case of visit og Rahul Gandhi or on release of SRK film MNIK. They forced the Goverment of Mahrastra to ensure law & order and to curb shivsainik to avaoid craeting anarchy. Now the same party accusing Govt for failing to curb the Terrorrist attack in Pune. Its is very sad, if the Shiv Sena leaders understand the real threats and cooprate with goverment.

The reason soo many police were needed in Mumbai for both Rahul Gandhi and MNIK is no one but Shiv Sena. What rights they have to blame. When will the ruling and opposition work together for the people's benefit?
