Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday jumped to for damage control after the remarks made by the party MLC Gopichand Padalkar against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar sparked huge outrage.
Fadnavis informed that he had a word with Padalkar who admitted that it was an emotional outburst against Pawar. The opposition against any senior leader should be expressed using appropriate words, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) said.
“If anyone wants to express their opinion, it should be done using appropriate words,” Fadnavis said while adding that making such remarks against any senior leader is not appropriate.
On Wednesday, Padalkar had lashed out at Pawar over the issue of pending demand for reservation to Dhangar community calling him “coronavirus” which has infected Maharashtra.
Padalkar accused Pawar of ignoring the demands of Dhangar community for reservation quota claiming that the NCP chief wanted to politicise the issue for his personal gain.
“Sharad Pawar is coronavirus for Maharashtra. He has been leading the state for several years but has only oppressed people from the backward class and will continue to do so in the future. I don’t think that he will be positive about the demand of reservation for the Dhangar community,” the BJP MLC asserted.
Reacting to this, Fadnavis said that Padalkar will give clarification and he has accepted that it was an emotional outburst against the NCP chief.
“Young leaders across party lines should practice restraint while making remarks. I had a word with Padalkar and he will issue a clarification. I told him that Pawar saheb is our political opponent and not our enemy,” Fadnavis informed.
