NDTV
Azam Khan said, "What happened in Rampur, happened in Maharashtra...", he said the people responsible for political situation in Maharashtra will be answering the people.
After rebel Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde took oath as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis as the Deputy Chief Minister, Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan on Thursday said that democracy has gone for a toss and the people are forced to be "deaf, dumb, and blind."
Azam Khan said, "What happened in Rampur, happened in Maharashtra. I don't see such politics as I am blind, can't comment on it as I am dumb, can't hear it as I am deaf. What to speak in a democracy like this, when the common people are forced to be deaf, dumb and blind. All we can do is feel sad about it."
When asked about the new Shiv Sena and BJP alliance government, he said, "We will just watch. The people responsible for the political situation in Maharashtra will be the ones answering the people."
On Thursday evening, Eknath Shinde, who led a revolt against Shiv Sena leading to the collapse of the 31-month-old Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
