Prakash Ambedkar's big attack on Congress...
Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) leader Prakash Ambedkar on sunday claimed that Congress' maharashtra unit chief Nana Patole has refused to contest the lok sabha elections from the Bhandara-Gondiya seat as he is not willing to fight against the BJP. Ambedkar asked at the press conference whether some leaders and workers in the congress had a "secret pact" with the bjp in nagpur and other seats.
He also asked whether there was "match-fixing" between Patole and bharatiya janata party (BJP) leader ashok chavan for the Nanded constituency. He said, “Despite being asked by the congress to contest the elections, Nana Patole has backed out from contesting the Bhandara-Gondiya seat. It seems that Patole does not want to contest elections against BJP. Does this mean that some congress leaders have a 'secret pact' with bjp leaders?
Ambedkar-led VBA has recently decided not to form an alliance with maha Vikas Aghadi for the upcoming lok sabha elections following a disagreement over seat sharing. congress has fielded prashant Padole against sitting bjp mp Sunil Mendhe from Bhandara-Gondiya. Ambedkar claimed that Patole was angry because of the support given by VBA to congress in the nagpur constituency. Union minister and bjp mp nitin gadkari is also in the fray from the nagpur seat.
Ambedkar claimed, “Nana Patole is feeling sad because he feels that Gadkari will lose. He is not happy that the congress candidate will win in nagpur due to the support of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi. I wonder whether Patole is with congress or with Gadkari.'' He also hinted at ''match fixing'' between ashok chavan and Patole on Nanded seat.
