Political twist in BJP brings MLA Chavan and APMC’s Pathade face-to-face
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
A volley of accusations and counter-accusations were made on Wednesday between Phulambri constituency MLA Anuradha Chavan and former Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) chairman Radhakisan Pathade. Alleging double-dealing by the party, Pathade resigned and joined Shinde Sena, formally entering the zilla parishad arena. In response, MLA Chavan said that “time will give the answer” to Pathade’s allegations.
Soon the truth will come out…
MLA Chavan responded, saying, “Soon, the truth will come out. All of Bagde’s workers are with me and are working enthusiastically. Those who did not receive tickets should exercise patience. Everyone will get a chance. I want to tell the accusers that party cameras are installed everywhere. All the irregularities in the APMC will be investigated, and action will be taken against the guilty. We are fighting elections with full planning and strength. In the municipal corporation elections, we won 9 out of 10 corporators seats. Although there was a loss in Phulambri Nagarpanchayat, we will compensate for it in due course.”
