Congress Alleges Foul Play
State Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe raised suspicions about the accident, stating it might have been an attempt on Patole's life. He further informed that the incident took place near Karda village in Bhandara district, alleging the truck intentionally targeted Patole's car, prompting questions about political motives and the safety of opposition leaders.
In a post on X, Londhe said the accident occurred near Karda village in Bhandara district. He claimed that a truck hit Patole's car and tried to crush it. "This is a serious incident and there is room for doubt if it was an attempt on his life. Does the BJP want to win elections by finishing off opposition leaders?" he asked.
