"A sitting judge must investigate this incident and the actual facts must come out," Sharad Pawar said while addressing the organizational meeting for BMC polls.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Friday said that the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government is solely responsible for the deaths of 13 people in Kharghar and reiterated his demand for a judicial inquiry into the deaths of people during or after the Maharashtra Bhushan award ceremony, adding that "actual facts must come out".
"It was 100 per cent the state govt responsibility, as they organised the event, keeping elections in mind. A sitting judge must investigate this incident and the actual facts must come out," Sharad Pawar said while addressing the organizational meeting for BMC polls.
Earlier in the day, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray demanded the resignations of CM Eknath Shinde and his deputy Devendra Fadnavis.
As many as 13 people, who attended the open-air Maharashtra Bhushan Award ceremony on Sunday at Kharghar in Navi Mumbai, died from heatstroke.
