However, he added that state has to ensure whether or not it has right to introduce the same. "If the Opposition disrupts the House, it will prove that it hasn’t the interest to resolve the issue," he said. He added that the price of pulses is uniform across the country."The CM said that production of pulses had reduced to 35 per cent across the nation, which was the reason why the shortage occurred.

Refuting allegations by the Opposition, which had claimed there was corruption involving Rs 4,000 crore in the hoarding of pulses, Mr Fadnavis said, "These are baseless allegations.
