The Opposition and trade union leaders in Maharashtra on Wednesday criticised the state government over two different officials being appointed to manage the additional charge of the post of General Manager of BEST, claiming it was the result of a tussle between Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his deputy Eknath Shinde.

The post fell vacant after the retirement of S.V.R. Srinivas on July 31.

Sharing the two orders on social media, state Congress chief Harshwardhan Sapkal said, “1 post, 2 orders, 2 leaders -- is this a double gang war of the double-engine government?”
