Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik is in the opposition's line of sight today. The reason for this is that he had acted against the bike taxi service Rapido in Mumbai last month, and now the same Rapido has become the prime sponsor of the 'Dahi Handi' event of his family. The moment this inconsistency became public, there was a commotion in political circles.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) MLA Rohit Pawar accused Pratap Sarnaik of misusing his ministerial position. He said that it is morally wrong to make the same Rapido company, which the minister himself had investigated, the main sponsor of a family event.

On July 2, Pratap Sarnaik himself booked a bike taxi from the Rapido app to investigate whether bike taxis are running illegally in Mumbai. He booked a ride from the ministry to Dadar. When the bike driver arrived outside the ministry, the minister gave him Rs 500 and explained that this service is not allowed in the state.
