Dejected after being removed from power in Maharashtra, the BJP has started playing the role of an aggressive Opposition. It stalled the state legislature proceedings for the second time on Tuesday and held a statewide agitation against the tri-party Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, calling it anti-farmer and insensitive towards women.

Senior leaders addressed a rally at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. Office-bearers and elected representatives of local bodies led the agitation in the rest of the state. The party claimed that over 2.5 lakh people participated in the protests at 400 locations across Maharashtra.
