Car carrying Maharashtra Congress chief Patole hit by truck, Congress alleges plot on his life

Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole had a narrow escape after a truck rammed into his car in the State’s Bhandara district late on Tuesday, following which the Congress alleged that it was a deliberate attempt on Mr. Patole’s life.

The accident occurred near Kardha village when Mr. Patole was returning from a poll campaign and no one was injured.

In a video statement, the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief claimed that a truck had deliberately tried to hit his car. However, in another statement later, he said there was no cause for worry as the truck had brushed the side of his car.
