Mumbai: A video of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar is going viral on social media. In the video, he is allegedly seen reprimanding IPS officer Anjana Krishna. This video has intensified discussions in political circles. The BJP and other opposition parties have also reacted to the matter.
Chandrashekhar Bawankule's Clarification
Maharashtra Minister and BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule stated that what is seen in the video is not the complete truth. According to him, sometimes people's representatives, MLAs, and ministers receive complaints, leading to discussions with officials.
Bawankule clarified that Ajit Pawar is not a leader who would reprimand an officer for illegal work. His intention was solely to understand the complainant's concern and de-escalate the situation.
What Was Seen in the Video
In the video, IPS Anjana Krishna is seen taking action against illegal murram mining in the Solapur district. An NCP worker calls Pawar in the video. Following this, Pawar speaks to Anjana Krishna via video call.
In the video, Pawar is allegedly seen questioning the action taken. The NCP claims that this video was deliberately leaked to damage the party's and Pawar's image.
NCP's Stance
NCP State President Sunil Tatkare said that Pawar's objective was not to stop the officer from taking action. His aim was to pacify party workers.
Tatkare alleged that the video was misrepresented on social media, which has affected the political atmosphere and public sentiment.
IPS Anjana Krishna's Work
Anjana Krishna has been taking action against illegal mining and other unlawful activities in the Solapur district. Her work has often faced political pressure. It is not clear from the conversation shown in the video whether Pawar issued any illegal orders.
