Nitish Rane, MLA (Kankavli) and Cabinet Minister, Government of Maharashtra, challenged FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe
over alleged selective food-safety enforcement, demanding equal inspections at prominent outlets like Haji Ali Juice Centre and Bade Miyan following complaints, while emphasizing that compliance and accountability must apply uniformly to all businesses regardless of ownership.
Nitesh Rane questioned ongoing enforcement actions by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
He claimed that certain prominent food establishments had avoided similar levels of scrutiny despite facing multiple complaints.
Rane raised concerns over whether actions were disproportionately directed at specific outlets.
Public debate has centered on ensuring transparent, non-discriminatory application of food safety laws.
Authorities maintain that regulatory actions and inspections are guided strictly by received complaints, safety protocols, and standard operating procedures rather than ownership identity
