Maharashtra bandh over Lakhimpur violence: Transport, businesses impacted; BJP flags ‘hypocrisy’

Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis said that the MVAs concern for farmers was “pure hypocrisy” and claimed that the band was imposed using official machinery.

Mumbai: The statewide bandh called by Maha Vikas Aghadi affected road transport services and businesses in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra on Monday (October 11).

The leaders of three ruling parties - Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP - staged protests against the Lakhmipur Kheri violence in which eight people were killed.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut claimed the bandh was “100 per cent successful”.
