"As a leader of opposition, it is my job to apprise the government of the loopholes in the system and the improvements required to be made. I have been demanding that testing in Mumbai should be increased," former Maharashtra chief minister Fadnavis said.
Fadnavis has been visiting parts of Maharashtra to monitor the coronavirus situation and the health care facilities.
On Friday, he also met Union home minister Amit Shah. He had later said that no political talks were held during the meeting with Shah, as it was meant to discuss financial assistance to the sugar industry in the state.
Fadnavis said that he also met Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar, food and civil supplies Minister Ram Vilas Paswan.
"I am confident that the Centre will announce a good package for the sugar industry and farmers in the state," he said.
