Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey on Thursday strongly criticised the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra for its delay in forming a state cabinet, amidst a deteriorating law and order situation in the state. Dubey slammed the delay in cabinet formation, highlighting the serious impact on governance and the development of the state.

"The swearing-in of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister was merely a formality. However, the state cabinet has yet to be formed. Who will focus on the state's development when law and order is crumbling?" Dubey said, speaking to ANI. He also pointed out a recent violent incident in Parbhani city, where tensions flared after a replica of the Indian Constitution was allegedly damaged. "The situation in the state is unfortunate. We need the state cabinet to be formed immediately so that work can begin on vital development projects," he added.
