Anil Deshmukh Claims New Baseless CBI Case Fueled by Fadnavis Panic

NCP leader Anil Deshmukh claims the CBI has registered a new unfounded case against him, attributing it to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ panic. Deshmukh, already embroiled in corruption cases, vows to fight what he calls BJP's 'repressive rule'. He accuses Fadnavis of indulging in low-level politics.

NCP leader Anil Deshmukh on Wednesday alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a new, baseless case against him. He attributed this move to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis panicking.

Deshmukh, who is already facing a CBI case for alleged corruption and another registered by the Enforcement Directorate, refuted the new charges, labeling them as part of a conspiracy.

'This conspiracy has started as Fadnavis has panicked after seeing the people's mandate. I am not scared at all by such threats and pressure,' he asserted, pledging to combat what he termed the BJP's 'repressive rule'. He implored people to scrutinize Fadnavis' 'perverse and low-level' politics, especially with upcoming assembly polls.
