Nanded hospital deaths: Following the tragic deaths and demanding an impartial CBI investigation into the spate of deaths in government hospitals across the state, former Chief Minister and UBT Chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday asked the government who is responsible for the Nanded deaths and where the Chief Minister is in this difficult time.
While addressing the press conference in Mumbai, Uddhav Thackeray said, "This government has no moral right as they have money to spend on advertisements but no funds to save people's lives. Who is responsible? Where is CM at this difficult time? It was the responsibility of CM and Deputy CM to go and find out the reason for this."

He further added, "Until and unless the court teaches them lessons they won't realise, in the past also court has made an observation and slammed the govt, what about the task force we have formed to take than the Covid -19 pandemic, why aren't this govt taking help of this tasks force, Uddhav suggested the government."
The Bombay High Court has asked the Maharashtra government to file an affidavit on the steps taken to fill vacancies in government hospitals in the last six months.
The court has also asked the state government to mention the demand and supplies of medicines to the government hospitals in the last six months.
He further slammed Maharashtra's Chief Minister Eknath Shinde over his Delhi visit and said "People here in the state are dying and the Chief minister is in Delhi attending some Naxal-related meetings but I want to say if it continues then many more people will lose their lives than people die during naxal attack."
