Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a forensic investigation regarding an audio clip released recently. This audio clip claims that a BJP leader discussed a ₹500 crore payment intended to manage Maratha leader Manoj Jarange Patil. Shiv Sena's Ramdas Kadam questioned the credibility of the BJP following the allegations made in the audio. The BJP responded by warning Shiv Sena not to complicate the ruling alliance's stability.
