MUMBAI: A BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh on Monday accused chief minister Devendra Fadnavis of not following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas" motto during last week's appointments to state corporations and statutory bodies.MP Ram Charitra Nishad, who visited Palghar and Thane districts, said that the chief minister has "sidelined" north Indian BJP leaders while making these appointments.The state government made 21 appointments on August 31. Almost half of these posts have gone to leaders of Shiv Sena , the ruling BJP's bickering ally."The chief minister has completely sidelined the BJP leaders who hail from Uttar Pradesh, which is against the PM's motto of 'Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas'. If proper representation is not given to our own party leaders, how would we face our voters (from UP)?" questioned Nishad, who represents Machhalishahar constituency in Jaunpur district Nishad said Uttar Pradesh migrants settled in Mumbai, Thane and Palghar districts are used only as a vote bank.Nishad said that he would raise the issue with Fadnavis. "I will discuss this issue with Devendra Fadnavisji. He has done a good job for the people of Maharashtra . He needs to do the same for his own party workers from Uttar Pradesh. I hope he will definitely do something for our leaders," the member of Parliament said.Politicians who cannot be accommodated in the council of ministers are usually absorbed in corporations like Cidco and Mhada, to name a few. The appointees enjoy the status of a cabinet minister or a minister of state, and are entitled to perks such as official vehicles, office and staff, etc.Another prominent BJP leader from Uttar Pradesh said, "Finding no leaders from the northern state in the recently announced list has baffled us. However, we are hoping for the best, as the chief minister is yet to announce heads for over 30 boards and corporations in Maharashtra." pti
