Jarange plays audio clip after Rs 500 crore claim against Shinde, with remarks on Sushma Andhare

Manoj Jarange Patil played an audio clip at a press conference after Shinde Sena leaders attacked him over his claim that Eknath Shinde told the BJP he paid Rs 500 crore.

Allegations that Eknath Shinde took Rs 500 crore are being made at present. Shinde was seen speaking plainly on the charge. Manoj Jarange Patil has claimed that Shinde told the BJP he had given Rs 500 crore. Jarange Patil made the allegation while speaking at the Dussehra rally at Narayangad.

Shinde clarified that he neither took Rs 500 crore nor gave it. He did not respond to the allegation at the Narayangad Dussehra rally. But at the Dussehra rally in Mumbai, Shinde's Shiv Sainiks criticised Jarange sharply. Shinde's Shiv Sainiks pounced on Jarange. Uday Samant said directly that he would give Shinde the evidence of who is behind Jarange.

Jarange Patil has now dropped a bombshell. He held a press conference and played for everyone an audio clip that has stirred up the state. He showed the clip even as Shinde faction leaders were criticising him heavily.

The audio clip Jarange played is very long. In it, some people are heard talking to one another. The names of several leaders, including Sanjay Raut, were mentioned in the clip. Some examples from news reports were also given. As two people spoke, the name of Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) leader Sushma Andhare was mentioned along with that of Sanjay Raut.

Andhare's name was spoken in an extremely demeaning manner. The clip says that Andhare is at a very low level and that one should not get entangled with her. The second person says that is right, one should not get entangled with her. Some people are also heard laughing in the clip at this point.

The clip did not speak only of Sanjay Raut but also of Sushma Andhare. They said not to get entangled with her. The audio clip has caused a major storm in the state's politics. Manoj Jarange said in plain words: think about who took the Rs 500 crore.
