“The BJP has been attempting to topple the governments of the opposition parties in various states by misusing power and money. They want to gain power through immoral and corrupt means. For this, the Governor’s office and Raj Bhavan are being used by foul means,” he said.

Along with Thorat, public works minister and former chief minister Ashok Chavan, Mumbai Congress president Eknath Gaikwad and other senior leaders participated in the protest on Monday morning.
