“Action should be taken against the MLA, who is behaving arrogantly due to his position of power,” Deshmukh said. He also questioned why Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and BJP state president Ravindra Chavan were allegedly tolerating such statements and actions.

Resignation demanded

Deshmukh further demanded that Mehta resign immediately and that he be removed from his position as an MLA.
