The son of Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam and the head of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Siddhesh Kadam, defended his selection to the important position by claiming that careful consideration was required before making the decision.

Siddhesh underlined that the state government and the office of the Maharashtra chief minister must have carried out appropriate scrutiny before finalising his appointment in the face of criticism against his selection on social media from political workers, reported PTI.
