There are indications that more skeletons will shortly tumble out regarding the alleged pressure exerted by the BJP on former home minister and NCP (Sharad Pawar) leader Anil Deshmukh to sign affidavits against Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, Ajit Pawar and Anil Parab. Deshmukh, who was in Mumbai after the controversy erupted, reiterated his allegations against BJP leader and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis.
"A person named Samit Kadam, a close associate of Fadnavis, had come to me three years ago and insisted on my signing an affidavit seeking to implicate Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray and Parth Pawar, the son of Ajit Pawnar, in false cases, to topple the then MVA government." Samit had also offered to release Deshmukh from all ED and CBI cases lodged against him. "It is the policy of the BJP that you either go with them or go to jail, alleged Deshmukh.
The former home minister, who had to put in his papers in April 2021 following allegations of being set a 'wasooli 'target' of Rs 100 crore per month, showed photographs of Samit Kadam and Fadnavis together.
