When Sena-BJP were in power for the first time, our leader Balasaheb Thackeray made one thing very clear – If there are allegations and there is documentary evidence, the minister should resign and an inquiry must be conducted. The same rule applies to Khadse now. He is one of the senior-most leaders of BJP. We welcome his decision to quit. If the charges turn out to be false, he can return.
The Pune MIDC land case appears to be serious.
Let the inquiry take place. He needs to come out clean in all cases.
This is not true. Sena has no role to play. We said nothing against him.
He was asked about it, so he responded. He merely stated a fact.
This is a major embarrassment for BJP. They have claimed to be a "party with difference". They talked so much against corruption before elections. Now they are facing the same charges.
Not at all. Sena is a separate party. We are not accountable for the wrongdoings of BJP ministers. The common man knows it. Do you ever pose the same question to BJP leaders Ashish Shelar and Kirit Somaiya, who openly make allegations against the Sena-ruled municipal corporation?
A probe against all of them must be done thoroughly. Moreover, where is the investigation of the irrigation scam of the previous government? The scam was said to be worth thousands of crores. But nothing has been done so far.
