Ramdas Kadam’s befitting reply to Amol Mitkari
Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam commented openly on the Lok Sabha elections in the program of Shiv Sena’s 58th anniversary. In the Lok Sabha elections, BJP had forced Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to cut the tickets of the current MPs of Shiv Sena citing a survey. But in the Lok Sabha election results, only 9 MPs of BJP were elected. Whereas 7 MPs of Shiv Sena Shinde faction were elected. Despite contesting on fewer seats, elections were held on 7 seats. Ramdas Kadam commented on this issue. Interestingly, he also targeted Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. NCP MLA Amol Mitkari targeted him on that. Now Ramdas Kadam has responded to this.
“Everyone is naked in the hammam. Ask them who replaced NCP’s Sunil Tatkare. I have chosen Tatkare. BJP was preparing to field Dharishil Patil from Raigad. Ask what we have done to give Tatkare a place. You take care of your loincloth. Then touch our loincloth” In these words, Ramdas Kadam has given a befitting reply to Amol Mitkari. “I don’t want to throw even a grain of salt in the Grand Alliance. Ajitdada is a person with a good personality. A person who wakes up at 6 am and works. It would have been better if he came a little late. We would have got a ministerial post”, Ramdas Kadam said.
‘When you conducted the survey, where did your seats go?’
“15 seats of senior BJP leaders fell vacant. We won 18 seats. The more we struggled, the more seats we got. If it had been announced two months ago, we would have got 13 to 14 seats. Ministers sitting in Nashik were cursing Chhagan Bhujbal. Our seats have reduced due to the withdrawal of our sitting MPs. We were forced to change three to four seats. So we lost four to five seats.” BJP started announcing its seats. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s lifelong MP Shrikant Shinde has been declared by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. You did a survey. So where did your seats go? Eknath Shinde lost. Alternatively, BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi lost. Ramdas Kadam said, BJP has got the answer to the survey.
What exactly did Ramdas Kadam say in yesterday’s speech?
He said, “We should not be negligent anywhere in the assembly elections. With folded hands, I request Eknath Shinde to please tell the BJP leaders, I know, no one will talk on this issue. Take me to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. I tell them that if Shinde’s candidate had been declared two months ago, if BJP had declared the candidate two months ago, the picture would have been different. My Bhavana Tai Gawli would have been elected in Delhi. My Hemant Patil would have gone to Delhi. Hemant Godse would have gone to Delhi. But once Eknath Shinde declared the Shiv Sena candidate, once the BJP leaders stood up, our seat… our seat. What is this bhangad? Shinde sir… stop it. Or take me. Shinde sahab, tell Modi and Shah, give me 100 candidates. If we do not choose 90 candidates, we will do what you say. If Ajit Dada had not come for a few days, the work would have been done. We would have got 9 ministerial posts”, said Shaly Ramdas Kadam.
