An audio clip went viral on social media on Thursday, in which bjp mla Babanrao Lonikar can be heard
allegedly abusing ncp leader and former maharashtra minister Rajesh Tope in connection with a cooperative bank
election. Lonikar has denied abusing. However, he once again accused Tope of breaking a promise regarding the
Central district Cooperative bank elections held on december 2. Tope's relative Satish Tope has been elected the
vice president of the bank while BJP's Bhausaheb Jawale has been elected the vice president.
What did mla Babanrao Lonikar say?
Lonikar claimed, 'I did not use abusive language. Tope has not kept his promise and has betrayed BJP. As per our
agreement with Tope, the post of vice president should have been given to someone from bjp from Mantha or
Partur. According to media reports, in the 1.26-minute recording of the telephone conversation between them, the
two leaders are discussing the elections of Jalna district Central Cooperative bank, where Lonikar's son rahul is a
contender for the post of vice president. In the audio clip, Tope can be heard asking Lonikar to drop his son's claim
to the post after a meeting with Danve (Union minister of State Raosaheb Danve who is the mp from Jalna) and
Arjun (Shiv Sena leader Arjun Khotkar). There was discussion on this.
Refused to abuse
The audio clip went viral on social media after which Lonikar has denied abusing anyone. He said, “This is not my
voice. I have not misbehaved with anyone.
