If Devendra Fadnavis confident of win, why so many leaders campaigning for him, Supriya Sule asks

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Supriya Sule has questioned the presence of several central ministers and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders from across the country to campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly polls, when Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is confident of an easy win.

Addressing a rally at Kalyan town in Thane district of Maharashtra on Tuesday night for NCP nominee Prakash Tare, she dubbed the BJP's demand for the Bharat Ratna honour for Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar as an "election gimmick".

Targeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who has been addressing a number of rallies in the state to campaign for the BJP, Sule sought to know why he did not pay a visit to Kolhapur, Satara and Sangli in August when the districts were ravaged by floods after heavy rains.
