'Fadnavis Has Close Ties With Samit Kadam': Anil Deshmukh Shares Photos Of Man Who Asked Him To Accuse Uddhav, Aaditya

Former State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has leveled serious allegations against the current Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister, Devendra Fadnavis. Deshmukh claimed that Fadnavis had planned to implicate Shiv Sena leaders Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, and NCP leaders Ajit Pawar and Parth Pawar.

In a press conference today, Deshmukh presented some photographs to support his accusations against Fadnavis. He mentioned a person named Samit Kadam and showed photos of Kadam with Fadnavis. "Three years ago, Fadnavis sent Samit Kadam to meet me," Deshmukh stated.

"Samit Kadam came to me with an affidavit. Kadam and Fadnavis share a close relationship," Deshmukh claimed, adding that Kadam's Instagram account corroborates this connection.

Deshmukh also presented a screenshot of a post where Samit Kadam's wife is seen celebrating Raksha Bandhan with Fadnavis. He criticized Fadnavis for providing "Y" category security to a person who is not even a councilor.

"Fadnavis attempted to trap political leaders' children. If I had signed the affidavit brought by Kadam, Uddhav Thackeray would have been in jail," Deshmukh asserted. 

"Fadnavis' plan was to entangle Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, and Parth Pawar. If I had signed that affidavit, Uddhav and Aaditya Thackeray would be in jail today," Deshmukh reiterated.

"Since this plan failed, they used a similar strategy against Eknath Shinde, which succeeded. They also used it against Ajit Pawar, which also succeeded," Deshmukh alleged.

He added, "Aaditya Thackeray was accused in connection with the Disha Salian case, and Uddhav Thackeray was accused of extorting Rs 300 crore."

In response, Samit Kadam, the Youth President of Jan Surajya Shakti, had already dismissed Deshmukh's allegations. Kadam clarified, "Anil Deshmukh was the Home Minister at that time with Z+ security. He acknowledged that I visited his house, but I could not have gone there without his permission. He had invited me."

Kadam further explained, "Former Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Opposition Leader Devendra Fadnavis had asked me to help Deshmukh in his difficulties. Therefore, Devendraji Fadnavis has no connection with this matter."
