Amid the surge in COVID-19 cases in the state, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis has written a letter on Tuesday to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray alleging that daily COVID-19 cases in the state are decreasing due lower testing in Mumbai.

In a tweet in Marathi, Fadnavis wrote, "Decreasing number of tests in the state including Mumbai, low number of RT-PCR tests, increased risk of infection, 20 per cent of the total deaths in the state are in Mumbai, old records are not updated, accurate information is not available for Corona fight."
