Eknath Khadse's supporters, who had been complaining that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis did not come to their leader's rescue when allegations were being levelled against him, should now be satisfied. On Saturday, Fadnavis cleared the air from the BJP's official platform in Pune telling the party's executive that not a single allegation against his former cabinet colleague was true.
