Political Rifts and Allegations Amid Maharashtra Elections

Former home minister RR Patil allegedly initiated an inquiry into an irrigation scam involving Ajit Pawar for transparency. Ajit Pawar claims betrayal by Patil, with BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis revealing the inquiry. The issue resurfaces amid the Maharashtra assembly elections, with Patil's family defending his actions.

Former Home Minister RR Patil's decision to order an inquiry against NCP leader Ajit Pawar in a multi-crore irrigation scam has sparked fresh controversy. Patil's son, Rohit, stated the inquiry aimed to uncover the truth, as tensions rise ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections.

Ajit Pawar, now the Deputy Chief Minister, accused Patil of betrayal. Pawar claims BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis presented him with a file indicating Patil's order for the probe after Fadnavis became Chief Minister in 2014. The allegations have resurfaced, impacting current political dynamics.

Rohit Patil defended his late father, emphasizing Patil's integrity while Supriya Sule, a senior NCP member, criticized Pawar's remarks. The allegations continue to produce ripples in Maharashtra's political landscape, especially with the upcoming elections on November 20.
