Maharashtra politics hotted up on Saturday with sacked police officer Sachin Waze reiterating allegations of bribery against former home minister and NCP (SP) leader Anil Deshmukh, prompting the opposition to question the “timing” and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis assuring an inquiry.
Deshmukh and Fadnavis are locked in a war of words since the former accused the BJP politician of trying to exert pressure as the then opposition leader when he (Deshmukh) was home minister in the erstwhile MVA government, to frame key politicians including the then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Reacting to Waze’s claims, Fadnavis, who heads the Home department, assured to conduct a proper inquiry into Waze’s latest allegations.
