    Nagpur: Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Friday said his party supported the Hindutva of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, which was inclusive and was not about bearing grudges against anyone.

    He was replying to a question on state minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Chandrakant Patil’s statement that he would try to bring bitter adversaries Uddhav Thackeray and chief minister Eknath Shinde together on the plank of Hindutva.

    “Our stance is very clear. The Congress is with the Hindutva of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and will remain with it. Hindutva is a culture and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj took a stand of taking everyone along instead of keeping grudges,” Patole said.

    Asked about CM Shinde’s visit to Ayodhya on April 9, Patole said he too would be visiting the temple town in Uttar Pradesh soon.

    “I have an invite to visit Ayodhya but have not been able to go as I have been busy with work. But I will be visiting Ayodhya soon,” Patole said.

    Shinde rebelled against Thackeray in June last year, split the Shiv Sena and brought down the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, which also included the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party.

    Shinde became CM with the support of the BJP, and has since faced “traitor” barbs from Thackeray’s Shiv Sena.

    Thane: Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Friday alleged that the Adani group has invested Rs 20,000 crore through shell companies and asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi will show “courage” to probe it.

    He was speaking to reporters here after taking part in a demonstration against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre.

    Patole said the Modi government has in the past nine years made “arrangements for his friends to grab public money”. The senior Congress leader said several government contracts have been given to companies of businessman Gautam Adani.

    Patole claimed that the Adani group has invested Rs 20,000 crore through shell companies. “Where did this money come from? The same question has also been raised by Rahul Gandhi. Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi show the courage to inquire into this?” he asked.

    The Congress has been demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe after US short-seller Hindenberg Research in January accused the Adani Group firms of “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud” and using a number of offshore shell companies to inflate stock prices. Adani Group has rejected the allegations.

    The Congress has stepped up its attack on the Centre after Rahul Gandhi was disqualifed as a Lok Sabha member following his conviction by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case.

    Thane city District Congress president Vikrant Chavan was among those who took part in the demonstration.
