Cong-NCP dub MNS toll agitation as a "stunt" ahead of polls
February 12, 2014
The Congress-NCP today described the MNS agitation against toll tax as a "stunt" with an eye on elections and congratulated the Maharashtra government for ensuring that rule of law prevailed.
Congress spokesman Sachin Sawant told reporters that the MNS 'raasta roko' was a "fiasco".
"Maharashtra's toll policy was transparent compared to other states. Efforts should be made to make it more transparent. The MNS agitation is a fiasco as it has been organised with a solo purpose of seeking votes," he said.
NCP spokesman Nawab Malik said the Raj Thackeray led party's agitation was a mere "stunt".
"Raj withdrew his agitation after realising that he had no strength. Politics over toll is not doing his party any good," he added.
