AICC in-charge of Maharashtra Ramesh Chennithala claimed Siddique’s murder shows there is “complete anarchy in Mumbai.””The rule of law is gone. CM & Dy CM must resign immediately, taking responsibility,” he said in a post on X.Leader of Opposition in the assembly Vijay Wadettiwar said the murder has proved that the law and order situation in the state has reached its nadir. In a letter to the Mumbai police commissioner, the Congress leader claimed Siddique had received a threat to his life 15 days ago, and his killers are 19 to 20 years old.”Who is the mastermind? Some days ago, there was a firing outside the house of a film star. Is there any connection between Siddique’s murder and the firing?” he wrote.Wadettiwar pointed out that Siddique was given Y-category security, which failed to protect him. He also wrote about the murder of former corporator Abhishek Ghosalkar, who was gunned down earlier this year.”This doesn’t suit the image of the Mumbai police. I urge the police to take steps to ensure such things don’t happen again,” he said.Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut called for the resignation of Deputy Chief Minister and state Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis. “If Devendra Fadnavis doesn’t resign, the governor must seek his resignation,” he said.Raut accused Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of interfering in the police’s functioning and claimed that Fadnavis couldn’t do anything. “Never before has the state home department failed in its duties,” he said.The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader further alleged that while gang wars in Mumbai had ended some years ago, there was a gang war going on in the government.Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said Siddique had been a former minister and a three-time MLA. The question is whether any law and order is left in Mumbai, she said. “If a protected person meets such fate, how will common people feel safe?” she asked.
