Mumbai: The Opposition stormed the Maharashtra Assembly as it reconvened after a week on Monday. Opposition leaders staged a walkout during question hour seeking the resignation of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar over his 'urine' remark. The Opposition also demanded a discussion on the issue.
Earlier, Ajit Pawar made a gaffe while referring to a farmer on hunger fast demanding water to be released in dams, by saying that the only way of releasing water in dams would be to urinate in them. The remarks drew sharp reactions from several parties.
Ajit Pawar has since then apologised twice for his statement. On Sunday, he even sat on a fast near the 'samadhi' of Maharashtra leader Yeshwantrao Chavan in Karad to express his repentance. But his efforts have cut little ice with the opposition, who is still demanding his resignation over the crass remark.
