Amravati violence: Sharad Pawar accuses BJP, says party leaders 'lost their minds' after losing power in Maharashtra

NCP chief Sharad Pawar said, "People belonging to the ideology of the party that is ruling the country (BJP) carried out another kind of riot. They attacked shops and forcibly shut down small enterprises in Amravati. This is a proof that BJP has lost their mind after losing power in the state."

Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday accused Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of being involved in the Amravati violence and said that the party leaders have "lost their minds" after losing power in Maharashtra.

The NCP chief said, "Riots broke out in Amravati, Nanded, and Malegaon over an incident that occurred in another state. Some bad people were involved in these riots. Police will investigate it and the truth will come out."

"But in response to these riots, people belonging to the ideology of the party that is ruling the country (BJP) carried out another kind of riot. They attacked shops and forcibly shut down small enterprises in Amravati. This is a proof that BJP has lost their mind after losing power in the state," Pawar said.
