The BJP walked out of the meeting over the issue.
"The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government is using the rising number of COVID-19 cases to curtail the budget session. The BJP condemns such a move, hence we walked out of the meeting," he said.
This government does not want to be questioned on any issue, the former chief minister said.
"There is rampant corruption in the state government, but it does not want any scrutiny," Fadnavis alleged.
