Khadse said, 'I am not saying this, but party workers are feeling like this. OBC and Bahujan Samaj leaders have made the party bigger by watering with hard work and blood. The party leadership should take appropriate steps keeping in mind the sentiments of the workers. I was maligned and all kinds of investigations were conducted. If I am guilty then take action, but I was deliberately maligned.' After the meeting, party president Patil said that he has assured Khadse that strict action will be taken against those who are guilty. It is noteworthy that Khadse was a senior minister in the government headed by Devendra Fadnavis in the year 2014, but had to resign after being accused of his family's involvement in land irregularities.
