None of the new Government's Ministers of Maharashtra declare there assets and liabilities details

Transparency and Clean Governance were the two major agenda's on which the current BJP have formed the Government in Maharashtra, the anchor of the promotion of this agenda being Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis himself. But in a shocking revelation made by Activist Anil Galgali, none of the Ministers in the Government have declared their Assets and liabilities details till, given the same is practiced in Narendra Modi lead NDA government and also in Bihar. Anil Galgali had sought an application on the same via an RTI , but CM purposely did not act upon the same for 117 days.

RTI Activists Anil Galgali  had sought information about Assets and liabilities declared by the Cabinet as well as the Ministers of state via RTI to which D K Naik,Under secretary of the General Administration Department (GAD) of the Mantralaya,denied the information, stating "non availability". Anil Galgali 2 times wrote letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis and demand to made all Minister"s Assets and Liabilities detail online and information to be made available to the public domain. This letter was till with CM Sachivlaya and after CM take any decision on pending file then its available, reply Mr Naik. The Chief Minister has to declare his Assets and liabilities to the Governor and accordingly all the Ministers of the Cabinet and MoS have to declare the same to the CM. The Ministry today consists of 18 Cabinet and 12 Ministers of state in the Devendra Fadnavis's government.

"I had followed up vigorously with the previous government also for making their assets and liabilities detail in. public domain, but those who declared then only there name was made available online instead of Assets and liabilities details, but "Mr Clean " Prithviraj Chavhan was not of the view to make it public, but since this new BJP government's main agenda is Transparency, now even they have refrained themselves from making their Assets and liabilities in public domain" said Galgali.

On 14th November 2014 and again on the 9th march 2015, on the basis of the Centre and Bihar governments , Anil Galgali demand to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, to declare all Ministers Assets and liabilities was made online but ever since the application's file is lying pending with the Chief Minister since 27th November, 2014 ie 117 days which was clearly violation of Citizen Charter and Right to service act, add Galgali
