Senior BJP leader Eknath Khadse on Thursday said he will come out with a book to highlight the "conspiracy" that eventually saw his ouster as a minister from the Devendra Fadnavis government in 2016.
Khadse said the book will be titled Nanasaheb Fadnavisanch Shadyantra (conspiracy). The BJP leader also charged former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis with having direct or indirect hand behind the series of allegations levelled against him in the past.
Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday has reacted to Khadse' remark and said, "I have a lot of patience and I don't wash dirty linen in public. Khadse saheb is our senior leader. So I won''t criticise him or make comments on it."
Khadse, who was revenue minister in Fadnavis government, faced allegations of receiving calls from gangster Dawood Ibrahim''s residence in Karachi as well as land grabbing.
One ''ethical'' hacker Manish Bhangale had then accused Khadse of receiving calls from Ibrahim.
Fadnavis said Khadse did not have to resign in Bhangale matter and was rather given a clean chit in connection with the case within 12 hours.
"Khadse had to resign in the land grab case," Fadnavis added.
Fadnavis added that whatever complaints Khadse has will be resolved through discussion within the party.
