Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday rejected Nationalist Congress Party MLC Eknath Khadse's allegations that a Bharatiya Janata Party minister had attended a wedding in 2017-18 hosted by a family related to fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Fadnavis while demanding Khadse's apology to the legislative council for making a “baseless claim”, said perhaps the allegation was raised because Uddhav Thackeray is present in the House.
