Rane, Chavan differ on Khadse's exit
MUMBAI: 5 June 2016, DHNS
Maharashtra Congress leaders and former chief ministers - Prithviraj Chavan and Narayan Rane appear to differ on the reasons behind Eknath Khadse’s exit from the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance government.
Rane, an outspoken leader, said that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made Khadse a scapegoat. “On one hand, you (Fadnavis) give him a clean chit and on the other, you go to New Delhi and request the party to take Khadse’s resignation and also announce that the BJP president (Amit Shah) would take the final call,” he said, adding that the “bahujan community” leaders are being targeted.
Prithviraj Chavan, however, said that caste and community should not be brought in. “There are several charges. If we look at the charges related to the call logs of Dawood Ibrahim, they are very serious,” he said, adding that the phone calls of Dawood Ibrahim are under constant observations and the government must throw light on this.
On the other hand, another former chief minister Ashok Chavan demanded a high-level judicial probe against him.
Senior NCP leader and former deputy chief minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar said that because of constant media reports, Khadse had to go. “TV channels went after Khadse with full force....Khadse...Khadse...Khadse and he had to resign,” he said.
