Vijay Wadettiwar is a prominent Indian politician serving as the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, representing the Congress Party. A veteran leader in Maharashtra politics, he has held various ministerial roles and is especially recognized for his advocacy on social justice and regional issues.

Wadettiwar recently gained attention for his critique of the BJP government, particularly around issues affecting farmers and inflation. He accused the ruling government of not fulfilling promises, like ensuring the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops and addressing rising fertilizer costs, which he claims have heavily impacted Maharashtra’s agricultural sector. Wadettiwar has also expressed strong opinions on policies he considers inadequate for addressing social and economic inequalities, such as the BJP’s Ladli Behna Yojana aimed at supporting women in Madhya Pradesh, which he described as underdelivered and politically motivated​

His political stance is grounded in advocating for the marginalized, and he is seen as a key figure for Congress in countering the BJP’s influence in Maharashtra. As Maharashtra approaches upcoming elections, Wadettiwar continues to be an active voice for Congress, emphasizing transparency and critiquing the BJP’s economic and social policies.
