Supriya Sule Questions Timing of Allegations Against Anil Deshmukh and Jayant Patil
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 3: NCP (SCP) MP Supriya Sule on Saturday questioned the timing of Sachin Waze’s allegations against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and Jayant Patil, suggesting they are politically motivated ahead of the assembly elections in the state.
Reacting to Sachin Waze’s allegations, Sule said, “First of all which Jayant Patil is he talking about? I have no idea. Why should we think that it is only about our Jayant Patil? Look at the timing. How come when there are elections round the corner, these kinds of allegations are coming up?”
Sule added, “Jayant Patil is a force to reckon and the BJP is fearful of him…”
Earlier, Sachin Waze said that he had written a letter to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and submitted all the evidence of alleged bribes taken by former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. “Whatever has happened, the proof is there. The money used to go through his (Anil Deshmukh) PA, CBI has the proof and I have also written a letter to Devendra Fadnavis. I have submitted all the evidence. In the letter that I have written, I have given the name of Jayant Patil as well,” Waze said.
Sachin Waze is also accused in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiren murder case. The CBI had registered a corruption case against Deshmukh following allegations that Deshmukh, as home minister, had directed police officials to collect Rs 100 crore per month from bar owners. Deshmukh was later arrested in the case before securing bail.
Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole said that a “drama” is being staged in Maharashtra, adding that after the Maha Vikas Aghadi forms the government, they will investigate the matter. “I don’t want to get into that, our question is that this drama is going on in the state for a while now. Home Minister of the state, Devendra Fadnavis says that I have both audio and video. I have challenged him that he is on a constitutional post and hence you don’t have this right to keep it hidden. The people have the right to know the reality but he will not say anything as he wants to scare only. I think their time is up, in a few days Maha Vikas Aghadi government will be formed, then we will investigate into it and everything will be clear,” Patole said.
