Sunil Tatkare hits back hard at Ramdas Kadam; announces legal notice and suggests he seek psychiatric help
Mumbai, November 10: The political atmosphere has heated up following a serious allegation by Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam, who claimed that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sunil Tatkare had a hand in the accidental death of Ajit Pawar. Responding to these accusations, Sunil Tatkare broke his silence today and launched a fierce verbal attack on Ramdas Kadam. Tatkare stated, “I strongly condemn the allegations made against me by Ramdas Kadam. Given his current mental state, I suggest that he might find better psychiatric care in Agra than in Thane; I urge him to seek treatment there.” He further noted that Antulay Saheb had treated him like a son and provided him with opportunities as a party worker. “I hold Antulay Saheb in high regard. I was never his personal assistant (PA). Everyone has witnessed the vitriol Kadam has spewed against Antulay Saheb in the past; therefore, he has no moral standing to speak about him. I will be sending him a legal notice shortly.” Tatkare also challenged Ramdas Kadam to provide an explanation regarding the allegations previously made by Anil Parab. Recalling past events, he mentioned that after Narayan Rane left the Shiv Sena, Ramdas Kadam had visited his bungalow, 'Meghdoot,' to make a request, and later, Kadam had approached Ajit Pawar. When asked about being cornered within the 'Mahayuti' (ruling alliance), Tatkare remarked, "The leaders who are making such statements are doing so because that is the extent of their ideological maturity. I do not wish to say anything further on this. Throughout my career, I have never had to retract a statement or offer an apology for saying something inappropriate." Tatkare clarified that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Home Minister Amit Shah are fully aware of his political background; therefore, he has not lodged any complaints with anyone. This development has sparked discussions in political circles regarding whether it might impact the dynamics within the 'Mahayuti' alliance.
