After the Narendra Modi government in centre transferred the politically sensitive Bhima-Koregaon case to National Investigation Agency (NIA), Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra alleged “conspiracy” of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) behind the same.
This happened after the newly formed Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state started reinvestigation into the inquiry of Pune police regarding the Bhima-Koregaon riot case.
Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said that the sudden move by the centre indicates conspiracy of the BJP.
“Sudden taking over of Bhim Koregaon riot case by NIA after Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government started reinvestigation into the inquiry of Pune police, clearly substantiates conspiracy of BJP. Why it took 2 years for NIA to find that case is fit under it’s jurisdiction? Strongly condemn! (sic),” Sachin Sawant tweeted.

The NCP also targeted the BJP government in the centre saying that the same is being done to cover up the wrongdoings of the previous Fadnavis-led government in Maharashtra.
Earlier on Saturday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said that the Shiv Sena-led government will not remain quiet and will conduct its parallel investigation in regard to this matter.

Sharad Pawar said that the Narendra Modi government’s decision to transfer the Bhima-Koregaon case from Maharashtra government seems like a conspiracy to hide the role of previous BJP-led government and the misuse of police machinery to frame social activists in Maharashtra.
Pawar further stated that the centre’s decision to transfer Bhima-Koregaon case to NIA in a hurry shows that there is a substance in the allegations that some police officials misused powers to arrest innocent people.
"The Maharashtra government will initiate a probe to check if the police fraudulently made up cases against social activists and writers. Speaking on social injustice doesn’t make one as anti-national or Maoists,” NCP chief Sharad Pawar said.
