State Congress head Harshvardhan Sapkal's remarks comparing Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb have sparked outrage among Mahayuti members in the legislature. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar assured the assembly that the comments will be verified and appropriate action will be taken.

The Maharashtra legislature's Mahayuti members expressed outrage on Monday over Congress head Harshvardhan Sapkal's remarks comparing Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar addressed the issue in the legislative assembly, stating that Sapkal's comments would be verified, and legal action would follow if necessary.

BJP leader Pravin Darekar labeled the comparison as highly condemnable, prompting a demand for strict measures against Sapkal. The incident caused a 10-minute suspension of the legislative council's proceedings.
