The complaint also alleged that false cases are being filed against BJP workers and paid trolls are targeting Opposition leaders like Fadnavis. “There is a worrisome law and order scenario in the state and with respect to this, the BJP state unit has submitted complaints to police commissioners across the state,’’ said a statement from the BJP.

“In the last few days, media is being gagged, those who criticise the state government have police cases filed against them, the state Governor has faced comments that are unconstitutional and threats of encounter are being made against former CM Fadnavis on social media,’’ added the statement.
