If Fadnavis has audio and video clips, he should take action instead of issuing plain threats: Nana Patole

Speaking to media persons in Nagpur, the Congress state president said that Ravindra Waikar, a leader of Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, mentioned that he had to change his party out of compulsion after his candidacy was announced. Eknath Shinde and his colleagues are under BJP’s wings due to ED’s intimidation, and the same experiment might have been done with former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who is revealing these things, he alleged.

“If Home Minister Fadnavis has any audio or video clips, he should take action, who stopped him? What is the use of making controversial statements before elections?” he asked.

The state’s law and order has deteriorated, drugs are being brought into the state, ruining the youth, and drug mafia are being given five-star facilities in Sassoon Hospital and jails, but nothing is being said about this, he said. Patole asked whether the Home Ministry is being used just to intimidate opponents.
