Congress state president Nana Patole has made serious allegations that Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar are keeping an eye on him. This has created a stir in the Mahavikas Aghadi and NCP leader and minister Nawab Malik has responded to Patole. Patole is talking due to lack of information. His party has several former chief ministers. Patole should get detailed information from them, Malik said while talking to reporters.
'A special department in the police force keeps track of important events of a party, visits of important leaders of that party, ministers. This information is kept for security. There is nothing new in that. Nana Patole is talking due to lack of information. He should talk with information, 'said Malik. 'There are many former chief ministers in Nana Patole's party. Ashok Chavan, Prithviraj Chavan, Sushilkumar Shinde have an idea of the methodology. Patole should get information from them and speak, 'Malisk advised.
'A special department in the police force keeps a record of important leaders, ministers' programs, their visits. This includes leaders of all parties. The concerned department also keeps the details of the programs and agitations of Congress, Shiv Sena and BJP leaders. This information is kept from a security point of view. If Nana Patole and Congress ministers do not want police security, then they should clearly tell the Home Ministry. Accordingly, the Home Ministry can take the right decision, 'said Malik.
Patole had said his phone was being tapped. “The system is not allowing me to live peacefully. My phone is being tapped. Whereever I go, whatever I speak, a report is sent to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister. Some people seem to dislike that Congress was growing in strength,” he said.
