Leader of opposition in Maharashtra assembly, BJP's Pravin Darekar on Sunday said that not only State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh but the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government also came to power by accident, adding that the state government is now running on a "slippery road".

Darekar's statement came soon after Shiv Sena, in its mouthpiece Saamana, severely criticised the Maharashtra government for its inability to counter-allegations levelled against Deshmukh, stating that it had inadequate 'damage control' plans.
