Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Wednesday discarded the claims of Leader of the Opposition Devendra Fadnavis where the latter claimed of being in possession of 125 hours of video footage of the Special Public Prosecutor where he is heard of using the government machinery to implicate opposition leaders in different cases. Mr. Pawar termed it yet another attempt by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to destabilise the State government using the Central agencies.
“It is really commendable work of Devendra Fadnavis to obtain 125 hours of video recording but all this needs to be verified first,” taunted Mr. Pawar. “I am sure that the State government will probe into this. I heard that my name too was mentioned in these tapes. But I must clarify that I have never spoken on issues mentioned in the tape,” the NCP chief said.
