A social media post by BJP leader Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya claiming that a senior NCP leader would soon join his party colleagues, the former ministers Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik, in the jail created quite a flutter on the first day of the monsoon session of Maharashtra legislature. 

Since Bharatiya demanded that an irrigation scam be reopened for inquiry, all eyes were on former deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, now Opposition leader in the Assembly, who had faced allegations in the matter related to the irrigation (water resources) department.
