Mumbai: Amid revelations made by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Gopichand Padalkar had a slip of tongue during a march organized to address issues of the Koli community in Dhula on Wednesday.

Criticizing Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Sharad Pawar, Padalkar accused him of playing dirty politics on various issues of tribes in the state.

Padalkar also targeted Tribal Development Minister Vijaykumar Gavit and alleged that

“he is playing tricks on the issues of the tribal community.” People who opposed the reservation for the Dhangar community, were close to Sharad Pawar. All these (people) have one master, he added. Padalkar also criticized his opponents who had ‘predicted’ the fall of the Shinde-Fadnavis government.

“Sharad Pawar and Sanjay Raut are wornout and torn notes. So don’t pay attention to them. The Shinde-Fadnavis government is very strong,” said the BJP leader.
