Aurangabad / Mumbai, Apr 13 : Maharashtra NCP chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapase on Wednesday slammed BJP-led central government for confiscating the property of state minister Nawab Malik. After Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, now the property of Minister Nawab Malik has been confiscated by the Enforcement Directorate, he said in a statement. This is another attempt of BJP to silence the opposition by showing fear of ED, he noted. The central agency is being used to divert attention from growing discontent against the BJP-led central government, Tapase added and asked why BJP is silent on issues like hike in prices of petrol and diesel, inflation and unemployment.
