"After this incident, our candidate or his sister did not give any statement. None of the BJP workers knew about this. But Congress candidate Virendra Jagtap wrote a post on his Facebook saying that it was a stunt and deleted it after some time, I came to know about this from the workers. I just want to ask that if no BJP worker was aware of this, then how did the Congress candidate know? This makes it clear how it happened and who did it. Maha Vikas Aghadi is seeing its defeat and due to that, they are doing this kind of hooliganism but we will not allow this to happen at all," Wagh said to news agency ANI.
