Days after Renu Sharma, a playback singer from Mumbai, levelled allegations of rape and blackmail against NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, BJP Maharashtra president Chadrakant Patil, on Thursday, January 14, demanded Munde’s resignation. According to reports, Munde has also filed a case in the court.
Moreover, another BJP leader Kirit Somaiya wrote a letter to the Election Commission 'seeking appropriate action' against him for not disclosing details of his second wife and children in the affidavit. Somaiya added that Munde has no right to hold the position of a Cabinet Minister until he comes clean on the allegations.
Despite serious rape allegations, Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) was seen backing its minister, with state NCP chief and minister Jayant Patil saying that these are only allegations against him. He has given his clarification in this regard. This is his family issue. It takes years for one to get established in politics and so without investigating the incident, it would be unfair to finish off someone’s career.
Renu Sharma had taken to social media to share the copy of the complaint she has lodged with Mumbai police against Dhananjay Munde, the social justice minister in the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. In her complaint she said that Munde was her brother-in-law.
However, Munde’s defence on social media that it was a blackmailing attempt by the victim, who is the sister of his currently estranged second wife, invited more troubles for him.
