The state government approved an inquiry into NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar’s alleged backing of an accused in a case of casteism. The legislator was recently grilled by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the MSC Bank scam. During an Assembly session on Thursday, BJP MLA Ram Kadam made an allegation against the MLA, saying he tried to support an accused in a police case against a viral video “spreading casteism”. The presiding officer of the Assembly instructed the state government to order an inquiry and take action accordingly and Shambhuraj Desai, state excise minister, replied that a detailed inquiry would be conducted into the matter.
