Following a fight over a land issue, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s faction member Mahesh Gaikwad and another supporter were hurt in the firing.
Maharashtra Politics : Ganpat Gaikwad, a BJP legislator from Maharashtra, claimed he had “no regrets” about firing at a Shiv Sena leader who was attacking his son inside the police station since he was acting in self-defense. He’s been taken into custody.
Following a fight over a land issue, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s faction member Mahesh Gaikwad and another supporter were hurt in the firing. The event happened in Ulhasnagar, which is part of the legislative district of Kalyan, Friday night.
Sure, I did shoot him by myself. I don’t regret anything. “What will I do if my son is being beaten in front of the police inside the police station?” he asked a news outlet.
The Chief Minister came under heavy criticism from Ganpat Gaikwad, whose party is in coalition with Mr. Shinde’s Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, who claimed that the Chief Minister is “trying to create a kingdom of criminals in Maharashtra”.
“Shinde saheb will betray the BJP, just as he betrayed Uddhav (Thackeray) saheb.” I am owed crores of rupees by him. If Shinde is to step down, Maharashtra will not be well-managed. He was quoted in publications as stating, “This is my humble request to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.”
The MLA from Kalyan East was alluding to the Mr. Shinde uprising that resulted in the fall of the Thackeray government in 2022.
Additionally, he charged that MP and son of the Chief Minister Shrikant Shinde had put up billboards to claim credit for his contributions. “The only people born in Maharashtra will be criminals if Eknath Shinde becomes chief minister.” “Today, he has turned me from a decent person into a criminal,” he remarked.
The MLA alleged that after his son went to the police station to file a complaint, he shot at the Sena leader’s bodyguards because they were mistreating him. In the police station, he said he fired five shots.
The MLA purchased a parcel of land ten years ago, and that is the subject of the current land dispute. Mahesh Gaikward took it by force after he won the case in court despite his claims that there were some legal concerns.
According to the police, Ganpat Gaikwad and two other people have been taken into custody on suspicion of trying to kill. The critically injured Sena leader is still on a ventilator.
The event has given the Uddhav Thackeray camp more justification to criticize the Maharashtra administration for maintaining peace and order.”Within the police station, a BJP MLA opened fire, wounding a man who was connected to both the Chief Minister and a former corporator. Given that both of their parties are in power, should we recognize that Do these folks not fear the law? Spokesman for the Uddhav group Anand Dubey declared, “Both engines of the state government have failed.”
