Congress targets Maharashtra govt over Bishnoi gang threats to Bollywood stars

NAGPUR: (Feb 13) The Opposition Congress on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Maharashtra government, claiming that law and order has deteriorated in the state, including Mumbai, with threats to Bollywood celebs Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe alleged that the state government is short of ideas and not in a position to take strict action, engaging only in Hindu-Muslim debates instead of addressing the mainstream issues of unemployment, inflation and women's safety.

Speaking to a news channel, Londhe said, "We have a so-called powerful chief minister, who is also serving as the home minister. And it is his responsibility. Law and order situation is deteriorating not only in Mumbai but also in his hometown Nagpur."
