Protest in Tasgaon: Rohit Patil Demands Action Against Sanjay Kaka Patil

The recent assault of NCP (SP) leader Ayaz Mulla by former BJP MP Sanjay Kaka Patil has ignited significant public outrage in the Tasgaon Kavathe Mahankal constituency. The incident, which took place at Mulla's home, involved not only the attack on him but also the manhandling of his elderly mother and other women who attempted to intervene. This violent act has led to a large protest organized by the NCP (SP), spearheaded by Rohit RR Patil, the son of the late former Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil. During the protest, Rohit RR Patil and other leaders demanded immediate legal action against Sanjay Kaka Patil, emphasizing the need for accountability in the face of such violence. The political rivalry between the Patil family and Sanjay Kaka Patil has intensified, particularly following the NCP's unexpected success in the 2022 local elections, led by the young Rohit. This incident has further strained the already tense political atmosphere in the region, which has a history of conflict between these factions. Rohit RR Patil condemned the actions of Sanjay Kaka Patil, questioning the motives behind such aggression, especially towards women. He highlighted the implications of this behavior for the safety of constituents should Patil's son, Prabhakar, run for office against him in the upcoming elections. The protest and the statements made by the NCP (SP) leaders reflect a broader concern about political violence and the need for a safe democratic environment. This incident not only raises questions about the conduct of political leaders but also serves as a rallying point for the NCP (SP) as they prepare for future elections, aiming to send a strong message against violence and intimidation in politics.
