Charged with association with fraud Ashok Kharat
Maharashtra Women’s Commission Rupali Chakankar handed over her resignation to Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar on Friday late in the evening.
Chakankar’s close association with Ashok Kharat, who was arrested for sexually exploiting women, surfaced a couple of day ago. The demand for her resignation was being raised from various political and social leaders.
Ashok Kharat who projected himself as astrologer was in contact with many political leaders, particularly from Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar). Chakankar was one among the NCP member who was very close to Kharat, her photographs indicate.
NCP leaders also demanded her removal from the key post and action against her, as the party’s image is being affected due to her presence and also women faith in the Women’s Commission will be affected.
UBT Sena leaders Sushama Andhare, Sanjay Raut, MLA Rupali Thombre Patil, NCP (Sharad Pawar) leader Rohit Pawar and others strongly opposed her holding the position as Women’s Commission Chief.
Many of the political leaders have demanded Chakankar to be made co-accused with Ashok Kharat.
Ashok Kharat has amassed huge property worth hundreds of crore rupees.
