Mumbai: Jayant Patil, the chief of Nationalist Congress Party in Maharashtra, was questioned for more than nine hours on Monday by the Enforcement Directorate in an alleged money laundering case linked to alleged financial irregularities in the now-bankrupt financial services firm IL&FS. His quizzing evoked strong reactions from the Opposition, which alleged "vendetta" and "dictatorship". Mr Patil reached the ED office in south Mumbai at around 11.50 am in presence of a large number of the party supporters. He left around 9:25 pm. "After questioning him for over nine hours, Jayant Patil was allowed to go," an official said. As soon as Mr Patil came out, workers and leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party surrounded him. Addressing the crowd of party workers and reporters, Mr Patil said he has cooperated with the ED. "I answered all the questions of Enforcement Directorate officials. I cooperated with them while recording my statement. I never did wrong things in my life," he said amid sloganeering by party activists. NCP chief Sharad Pawar hinted that the action against some leaders of his party could be the fallout of their refusal to meet "expectations" of the ruling dispensation. "A possibility cannot be denied that the current dispensation has had some expectations from some 9-10 leaders of NCP. We are not ready to meet those expectations and are ready to pay the price for our stand. We will never leave the path we have chosen," he said in a veiled attack on the BJP-...

Earlier, speaking to reporters before going to the ED's office, Patil said, “I am part of the opposition and one needs to face such type of suffering. I never heard the name of the IL&FS in the past, but the ED officials have summoned me to appear before them. I will try to address their queries in the legal framework.” "I appeal to the party workers to maintain peace and allow the officials to do their work. I also ask party workers not to be afraid of it,” said Patil, a seven-term legislator who is former Maharashtra minister of home and finance. Patil in a tweet earlier said, "I request all office-bearers and activists that no one should come to Mumbai. I will fully cooperate with the ED in this inquiry. " The 61-year-old MLA from Islampur seat of Maharashtra was issued the first summons for appearance on May 12, but he had sought deferment for about 10 days citing some personal and official engagements.

New Delhi: Nationalist Congress Party's Jayant Patil today took oath as a minister in the Jayant Patil, son of renowned Maharashtra politician Rajaram 'Bapu' Patil, was appointed as the legislative leader of the party earlier this week. Mr Patil, who comes from Sangli district, won the recently concluded Maharashtra Assembly polls from the Islampur constituency. Before this, he was a four-time MLA from the Walva assembly seat since 1990. Jayant Patil has served the state on several important portfolios. He was the finance minister of the state from 1999 to 2008, and home minister from 2008 to 2009 in the Congress-led UPA government. He then served as the Minister for Rural Development from 2009 to 2014. Before the oath ceremony, Mr Patil said that the alliance would work on complete farm loan waiver. On Mumbai's Aarey colony, where hundreds of trees were cut to build metro line, the NCP leader said, "We will see if there is any alternative available and only then we will decide . We will not do what the last government did." The Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress have come together to form "Maha Vikas Aghadi" in the state. The BJP and the Sena, which fought the last month's Assembly polls in an alliance, secured a comfortable majority by winning 105 and 56 seats. The Sena, however, broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP after the BJP declined to share the chief minister's post. The NCP won 54 seats and the Congress won 44 seats.
