Minister Uday Samant called for a forensic and cyber cell investigation into an audio clip allegedly presented by Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange-Patil. The minister accused the clip of being part of a conspiracy to tarnish the reputations of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and MP Dr Shrikant Shinde. He requested that the voices heard in the clip be verified, as they appeared to resemble those of individuals associated with the BJP, including Shweta Shalini, Atul Bhatkhalkar, and YouTuber Sushil Kulkarni.
Samant demanded the clip's authenticity be determined through forensic examination and questioned those responsible for recording and distributing it. He also challenged those making the claim that MP Dr Shrikant Shinde had provided ₹500 crore to Jarange-Patil, urging evidence to support the allegation. The minister warned against attempts to divide the Maratha community and undermine its relationship with the Shiv Sena.
