The ever-growing pandemic has given Maharashtra's politicians and bureaucrats vast grounds to disagree with each other on, disown their failures and find scapegoats. Things don't seem to be moving in one direction with so many power centres working simultaneously and with zero coordination.

The constituents of the three-party government are content to bicker over matters that demand urgent resolution, which may not be perfect but can at least bail out the government and citizens, instead of complicating matters further. It has become more of a situation wherein some powerful people appear to be attempting backseat driving and claiming credit when their manoeuvres succeed. Needless to say failures are disowned and the blame is shifted to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, simply because he heads the government and is assumed to have approved of such 'failed' decisions. The scenario has become fodder for the Bharatiya Janata Party which says that the MVA partners are hell bent on seeing Thackeray fail, and if things go on like this, then, the government will fall without them doing anything to reclaim the lost throne.
