BJP's women MLAs write to him condemning his letter to Governor
A day after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray asked Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah , the Congress extended support to Mr. Thackeray’s demand, while the women MLAs of the BJP wrote to him condemning his letter to the Governor.
The State unit of the Congress on Wednesday pointed to the numbers from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2020, saying the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh was at the forefront in atrocities against women along with the BJP-ruled Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Karnataka.
“Assam has the highest number of atrocities against women at 154/lakh. Uttar Pradesh is ahead in gangrape/murder cases. Under the previous Fadnavis govt, Maharashtra was number 1 in gangrape and murder cases in 2019,” said State Congress general secretary Sachin Sawant.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
