Ramdas Kadam seeks probe into Ajit Pawar accident, targets Sunil Tatkare

Ten months after Ajit Pawar's accident, the political storm over the matter has not subsided. Some leaders keep asking whether there was foul play behind the accident of Ajit Dada. NCP MLA Rohit Pawar has also demanded an inquiry. Shinde faction leader Ramdas Kadam has now jumped into the controversy, directly targeting MP Sunil Tatkare.

It is being said that Rohit Pawar will hold a press conference to raise some more important issues related to the accident. Before that, however, Kadam's statement is likely to spark a fresh controversy in Maharashtra politics.

Criticising Tatkare, Kadam also referred to past political developments. He said people had been telling him different things about Tatkare from the very beginning. He also alleged that Tatkare worked against Yogesh Kadam in the Assembly election.

Kadam further alleged that despite the Mahayuti alliance, Tatkare helped Bhaskar Jadhav in Guhagar and thereby supported the Thackeray faction. Kadam said clearly that Tatkare had no right to speak about him.

Kadam also targeted Tatkare over the Poyanar dam issue. Citing earlier allegations about dam works in the Konkan, he sought an answer from Tatkare. He raised the issue of the alleged Rs 70,000-crore irrigation scam and said people in 14 villages were deprived of water because of it. Kadam alleged, "When Ajit Dada extended support to the BJP, these allegations were withdrawn."

Amid all these allegations, Kadam also raised the most crucial question. He demanded an inquiry into whether there was foul play behind Ajit Pawar's accident, and whether Sunil Tatkare had any hand in it.

Discussion in political circles has since intensified. All eyes are now on what new issues emerge regarding Ajit Dada's accident.
