Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh has accused a person linked to Bharatiya Janata Party leader Devendra Fadnavis of asking him to provide false affidavits against key figures of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. Deshmukh claims the person told him to do so in order to avoid facing legal action himself. However, Fadnavis has denied the allegation and stated that he has evidence to prove Deshmukh's involvement in the Rs 100 crore extortion case.
