Overview
- Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar, speaking in the Assembly on Tuesday, alleged a breakdown in law and order and cited a Brahmapuri case where six schoolgirls went missing, with two traced and four still unaccounted for.
- He demanded a special search team for the Chandrapur case and questioned why police could not act faster when minors vanish and phones go dark, despite large spends on CCTV systems that he says are missing at the taluka level.
- He said unseasonal rain and hail had wrecked rabi crops across Marathwada districts like Nanded, Hingoli, Dharashiv and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, reporting two deaths and 41 livestock lost, and urged quick surveys and cash relief for farmers.
- Linking public safety to accountability, he pointed to the March 18 arrest of self-styled godman Ashok Kharat on a rape complaint, alleged official collusion in land deals, and sought probes into IPS, IAS and Revenue officials while flagging weak enforcement of the Anti‑Superstition Act.
- He broadened his attack to rising crimes against women, claiming 108,000 cases in 2025 with a 23% jump, and to graft, citing a Rs 156 crore school uniform tender and a claimed 35% commission culture, with PTI-led reports detailing the missing girls and farm damage and IANS focusing on corruption and superstition charges.
