Why has Manoj Jarange-Patil turned against Eknath Shinde? Behind the audio clip row
Manoj Jarange-Patil accused Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of attempting to silence him with a ₹500 crore payment at a rally on October 20. Jarange-Patil released an audio clip allegedly supporting his claim, which Shinde has denied. The fallout marks a significant shift in their relationship since Jarange-Patil previously supported Shinde's leadership for Maratha reservation.
