Maharashtra govt stable, attempts to bring it down won't succeed: Pawar

Confident that any attempt by the BJP to bring down the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government won’t succeed, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar has asserted that the Uddhav Thackeray-led dispensation is stable and will continue to rule the State.

He also slammed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for its actions against leaders of the alliance and their family members as “misuse of authority”. “It has been a year now (since the MVA government assumed office)... they (BJP) were to bring down the government in two months, then they were to do so in six months, then in eight months. But, nothing will happen,” said Mr. Pawar.

“It is a stable government and it will continue,” he said.

The MVA government completed a year in office last month. All through this period, various BJP leaders have been saying that the government will collapse, citing ideological differences among the alliance partners.
