The Maha Vikas Aghadi government is under constant attack from the Bhartiya Janata Party for "mishandling" the Covid-19 crisis in Maharashtra. 

BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday launched a fresh attack on Maharashtra government saying CM Uddhav Thackeray is "indecisive" in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis and causing the situation to worsen in the state. Fadnavis said Thackeray is "scared" of taking initiatives to deal with the situation.

Talking about Mumbai, which is the worst affected Indian city from the novel coronavirus, Fadnavis said there are no beds available for COVID-19 patients in government hospitals in the city, while half of the beds in intensive care units (ICUs) of private hospitals are lying vacant due to the government''s flip flops on the matter.

He said all this is happening despite the announcement of the state government that 80 per cent of beds in private hospitals belong to it.

On the question how long the Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP coalition government will last, Fadnavis said there “are already cracks within the government and it will fall on its own."
