Nagpur, Jan 18 (UNI) Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Nana Patole's alleged abuse of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday led to a flurry of demands from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for his arrest.
Former Maharashtra Minister and BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule filed a complaint against Patole for making derogatory remarks during an interaction with party workers in Bhandara. The remarks went viral on social media.
Bawankule lodged a complaint with the Koradi police station. He and his party workers squatted in front of the police station seeking a FIR against Patole and his arrest.
Campaigning in Bhandara and Gondia Zilla Parishad elections, Patole allegedly said: “I can beat Modi. I can abuse Modi."
As the video became viral, Patole said the statement referred to a village goon Modi, not the Prime Minister.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari lodged a similar complaint in Nagpur and Bhandara-Gondia MP Sunil Mendhe too filed also a complaint against Patole in Bhandara.
