Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Maharashtra Rural Development minister Hasan Mushrif said he will file Rs 100 crore defamation suit against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya.

Briefing media persons, Mushrif said, "The allegation which is being made by Kirit Somaiya are part of BJPs big conspiracy and Chandrakant Patil is the mastermind of this. I have been very vocal about the Centre using central agencies against Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and on the issue of Param Bir Singh. It is the reason I am being framed by BJP through Kirit Somaiya to stop me."
