On Tuesday, Congress MLA Kailash Gorantyal accused NCP leader and Maharashtra Finance Minister Ajit Pawar of preferring his party's MLAs in the allotment of development funding.

"Ajit Pawar is distribution funds unequally by favouring MLAs of his group and neglecting the interests of Congress MLAs which will hinder the progress of their constituencies," the Jalna MLA alleged.

On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah attempted to break the impasse in both chambers of Parliament by writing to Opposition leaders and offering a discussion on the situation in the northeastern state.

Leaders of the INDIA alliance discussed a plan to launch a no-confidence resolution against the government in the Lok Sabha during the INDIA alliance’s floor strategy meeting. This no-confidence vote poses almost little threat to the Narendra Modi government, which has the support of at least 332 Lok Sabha members.
