Minister Under Fire for Sponsorship Ties with Illegal Ride-Hailing App

Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik is embroiled in controversy after it surfaced that Rapido, an illegal bike-taxi service provider, is sponsoring his family's 'Dahi Handi' event.

The shocking revelations come after Sarnaik previously exposed the illegal functioning of Rapido, causing accusations from Nationalist Congress Party MLA Rohit Pawar of misusing his position.

The Pro Govinda League, linked to traditional Janmashtami celebrations, is now at the center of attention, raising questions about the ethical implications of such sponsorship deals.
