Fadnavis Unveils NCP Conspiracy in Maharashtra Assembly

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has accused leaders from the opposition Nationalist Congress Party of conspiring against his cabinet colleague Jaykumar Gore in an extortion case. Allegedly, communication occurred between NCP figures and the accused. Fadnavis insists the incident will be thoroughly investigated.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis leveled serious allegations on Tuesday, accusing key leaders of the opposition Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) of plotting against his cabinet colleague Jaykumar Gore. The case involves alleged extortion by three individuals, including a woman who accused Gore of harassment.

Fadnavis claimed that evidence links NCP leaders, including Supriya Sule and Rohit Pawar, to the accused in the extortion case. He assured that the matter will undergo a detailed investigation. The chief minister emphasized the gravity of repeated communications between the accused and Prabhakarao Deshmukh, with WhatsApp messages and calls being scrutinized.

Despite allegations, Gore has denied any wrongdoing, pointing to his acquittal on related charges in 2019. This feud has spurred demands for Gore's resignation, alongside privilege motions in the assembly against figures accused of damaging his reputation. Fadnavis stressed the need for strict action against acts undermining the legislative process.
