Dhangekar taunts BJP leader Chandrakant Patil: “Were you some grandson of the Kirloskars?”

Former MLA Ravindra Dhangekar taunts BJP leader Chandrakant Patil with the question “Were you some grandson of the Kirloskars?”, after Congress leader Satej Patil replied to Chandrakant Patil’s criticism over his wealth. Kolhapur politics has heated up over allegations traded between Congress leader Satej Patil and Chandrakant Patil. Dhangekar too hit out at Chandrakant Patil.

“Satej Patil’s father D.Y. Patil used to ride a scooter, that is fine. But Maharashtra has seen your situation too. You used to stand outside hotels with a shabnam bag, waiting for someone to take you in and buy you tea. Were you some grandson of the Kirloskars?”

Dhangekar asked

Dhangekar said he had heard Chandrakant Patil’s speech and that what is going on now looks like a quarrel at a water tap. He alleged that intimidation was being done with “I will do this, I will do that” language.

“Nobody’s power is permanent,” he warned. He added that power in one place today can go elsewhere tomorrow and those in power should remember it.

Chandrakant Patil had asked how Satej Patil’s property grew so much when his father D.Y. Patil once rode a scooter. He had alleged that Satej Patil wants control of the Gokul milk union “to eat the cream”.

Satej Patil replied that Chandrakant Patil too now has a glass bungalow. He told him not to issue threats from within the government machinery, and challenged him to fight each other in the Assembly election.
