NCP President Sharad Pawar was in Choundi on Tuesday on the occasion of Ahilyabai Holkar’s birthday. BJP leader Gopichand Padalkar was also in Choundi on Tuesday. The possibility of a dispute was being raised here. Eventually, the controversy erupted.
The convoy of Padalkar and Sadabhau Khot was stopped by the police in Ahmednagar. which further created a ruckus in Choundi between the Police and supporters of Padalkar. The controversy arose even before the Nashik Shastrartha Sabha started. Padalkar and Khot have accused the police of using force against us.
The activists were outraged when Padalkar and Khot were prevented from entering Choundi. They started shouting slogans. Meanwhile, a scuffle broke out between Sadabhau Khot and the police.
“Why we are obstructed from participating in the birth celebration of Punyalshlok Ahilyabai Holkar?” Padalkar raised the question. This time he challenged the NCP. Saying that Pawar should hold a meeting face to face, Punyashlok Ahilya Devi Holkar’s 297th birth anniversary was celebrated on Tuesday at Choundi in Nagar.
The birth anniversary ceremony was held in the presence of NCP President MP Sharad Pawar. NCP’s Rohit Pawar from Karjat- Jamkhed constituency had organized this program. BJP MLA Gopichand Padalkar’s Ahilya Devi Jagar Yatra was also concluded on Tuesday. Activists from both parties also started gathering in large numbers for these two events.
However, in the meantime, it was seen that a political dispute had erupted between BJP and NCP. Former Minister Ram Shinde made serious allegations against MLA Rohit Pawar. He criticized that this celebration looks like a rally of NCP.
Today, those who were involved in the 1993 bomb blasts and killed hundreds of Hindus are in power. The statue of Ahilya Devi Holkar was unveiled by corrupt and racist people. Therefore, Padalkar has said that he will purify the statue of Ahilya Devi by anointing her with milk.
Criticising Sharad Pawar, Padalkar further said, “Look what time has come, now Sharad Pawar has to tell everyone that he is Hindu. He is also telling that he starts his election campaign by praying at Hanuman Temple”
