Given Proof Against BJP Leaders Behind Maharashtra Losses: Eknath Khadse

BJP leader Eknath Khadse on Saturday said that he has given names of BJP leaders who were responsible for the defeat of party candidates in the assembly polls to Maharashtra unit chief Chandrakant Patil.

Mr Khadse attended the meeting of BJP's North Maharashtra core committee.

Eknath Khadse said he has given names and "provided evidence to Patil about leaders who were responsible for the party's defeat" and also demanded action against them.

Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Khadse had said that some leaders of the party were responsible for the defeat of party candidate Pankaja Munde and his daughter Rohini Khadse in the assembly polls in the state.

"People from BJP itself worked against their own candidates. They are responsible for the defeat of Pankaja Munde and Rohini Khadse. I have given their names to the party and requested disciplinary action against them," Mr Khadse had said.

In place of Eknath Khadse, BJP had given the ticket to his daughter Rohini Khadse in the assembly polls.
