Maharashtra Congress leader Nana Patole slammed Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar over the secret meeting held at Pune and said that such meetings are creating confusion among the people, reported the ANI.


Talking to the reporters on Monday, Nana Patole said, "Such meetings are creating confusion among the people. If they are relatives, what was the need for them to meet secretly".


Sharad Pawar had earlier scotched speculation following a meeting between him and Ajit Pawar, saying that it was not a secret meeting.


What is wrong with meeting my nephew? How it can become secret when it was held at someones residence. I was there at his residence, he said.

Nana Patole also said that he has discussed this with (UBT Shiv Sena) party chief Uddhav Thackeray.

He said, "Talks have also been held with our leader Rahul Gandhi in this regard. The Congress high command is also keeping an eye on this. This will also be discussed in the 'INDIA' alliance meeting to be held in Mumbai."

Leaders of the united Opposition, under the banner of Indian National Developmental Democratic Alliance (INDIA), are scheduled to hold their third meeting in Mumbai over two days August 31 and September 1, Congress sources said.

The Congress leader also informed about the Padyatra in the state starting from September 3. 

"Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee will start a padyatra in the state from September 3. The first phase will continue till September 17. Then the second phase will be started after Ganeshotsav," he said.

Nana Patole also launched a scathing attack on the BJP Government both in centre and state and alleged that they had looted the public money.

Nana Patole said, "This government has created new records of corruption. Due to the lack of rain where sowing has been done, the crops are drying up. The farmers have not yet been paid for the damages caused by the untimely rains. Farmers' suicides are increasing."

"The government announced to provide 12 hours of electricity for agriculture, but even for 8 hours, electricity is not available. There is water but there is no electricity, so water cannot be given to agriculture. There is no grain in the ration shops. The youth do not have jobs," he added.
