As Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar’s rebellion led to a new twist in Maharashtra politics, Congress’ Jairam Ramesh slammed the BJP for kickstarting its ‘washing machine’.

Attacking the NCP workers who switched to the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government on Sunday, Ramesh said the ‘corrupt’ leaders jumped ship to escape the pressure from investigating agencies. He added that Congress will work towards removing BJP from power in Maharashtra.

The Congress general secretary tweeted, “It is clear that BJP's washing machine has resumed its work.

Many of the leaders who joined the BJP-led coalition in Maharashtra today faced serious corruption charges. ED, CBI and Income Tax officials were after them. Now all of them have got clean chit. Congress will intensify its efforts to free Maharashtra from the clutches of BJP.”
