Mumbai: In a veiled attack on former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Nana Patole mockingly said that the one who pointed fingers at others has been stripped of his clothes today.
He said that the person who used to speak poorly of people's character has now been stripped of his clothes.
Since 2014, blackmailing has been going on in the state by showing the fear of central agencies like Enforcement Directorate, CBI and Income Tax. he noted.

"This issue is not important for the Congress party, but the issues concerning common people are far more important for us," Patole remarked.
"It is important for the Congress party to address the issues of inflation, farmers, women's safety, law & order, youth," he added.
Meanwhile, Somaiya write a letter to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking an inquiry into authenticity of a video on him that went viral after a Marathi news channel aired it.

A video clip of me was shown on a news channel. Claimed that I have harrassed many women & many such video clips available & complaints received against Me
"I have never abused any woman. I personally write to Home department requesting them to start investigation of such allegations and bring truth before public," he added. (UNI)
