Maharashtra hospital deaths: Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Friday hit back at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray after his attack on the Eknath Shinde government on deaths in state-run hospitals by alleging the former chief minister did not desist from taking a cut in the procurement of body bags, reported the PTI.

The BJP had, during the Covid-19 pandemic, accused the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government of buying body bags at inflated prices and had alleged kickbacks in such procurement.
