Maharashtra’s Home (City) Minister of State and Shiv Sena leader Yogesh Kadam reacted sharply to the allegations of MLC Anil Parab of Shiv Sena (UBT). Yogesh Kadam said that his family has nothing to do with any dance bar and the allegations made by the parab are ‘baseless and inspired by politics’. The minister has also warned to bring a proposal for a privilege breach of privilege in the Legislative Council regarding this entire matter.

Allegations told baseless

Yogesh Kadam denied the allegation of Anil Parab stating that a Dance Bar of Mumbai is in the name of the minister’s mother. Kadam clarified, “Any member of my family has nothing to do with the ownership of any dance bar. This is a completely false and malicious allegation.” He also said that whatever illegal activities are done in the dance bar, it is only the responsibility of the bar owner and not someone else.

Questions raised about action on dance bars

Minister Kadam insisted that he has directed the police commissioners of other urban areas including Navi Mumbai to take strict action on dance bars. He said that “If I had any vested interest, I would not allow such actions. The action on my instructions shows that I do not support any illegal activity.”

Kadam also alleged that Anil Parab is trying to derail these actions. He raised the question that “Do we do not want to take action on illegal dance bars?”

Preparation of privilege breach proposal

Yogesh Kadam said that he would give notice notice to the Chairman of the Legislative Council in this matter and demand the removal of Parab’s statement from the proceedings of the House.

He said that “According to Rule 35, it is necessary to give prior information to any member before making allegations against a minister. Parab neither did so nor accuses me of my presence in the House. It is not only a violation of the rules, but also against the dignity of Parliament.”

On the last day of the monsoon session of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Uddhav Thackeray faction MLA Anil Parab made serious allegations against the Minister of State for Home and Shiv Sena leader Yogesh Kadam. Parab claimed in the Legislative Council that Savali Dance Bar in Kandivali, Mumbai is named after Jyoti Kadam, the mother of the Minister of State for Home.

He claimed that the police raided this time and got into custody 22 times. Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Anil Parab questioned, “How is this bar going on despite the ban on dance bar?”

Parab said, “The police raided Kandivali’s Savali bar, where 22 times, 22 customers and 4 employees were caught. Case was registered on customers and police also committed Panchnama. This time the permit is in the name of Jyoti Ramdas Kadam who is the mother of the Minister of State for Home.”

Parab said, “On the one hand you need the blessings of the dear sister, and on the other hand you are dancing to the mother and sisters?

Demand for Yogesh Kadam’s resignation

He said, “There is an appeal to Ajit Dada (Deputy Chief Minister) to take appropriate action. The Chief Minister should also resign from the Minister of State for Home. If action is not taken, it will be proved that the government is supporting this act.

Anil Parab said, “Today the head is bowing in shame. People in Bihar are asking, has you become Maharashtra Bihar? If only the Minister of State for Home is breaking the law, then the role of the Chief Minister is also under question. ” Yogesh Kadam has not reacted to Anil Parab’s allegations.

Anil Parab also surrounded the government on other issues

Parab in the Legislative Council further said, “Today we went to meet the Governor. Our PA was stopped down there, it was said that it is a matter of security of the Governor. If the governor is not safe, then what is the use of the security bill?”

He further claimed, “There was a fight in Vidhan Bhavan yesterday, the MLAs are also not safe. Sachin is an RTO officer named Patil, whose driver was on contract. Even after the contract is over, the driver is wearing RTO uniform and is cutting the challan of vehicles. This officer sits in the car and his driver invoices the machine. I am sending photos of it, take action on it. “
