Slamming BJP legislator Ram Kadam over his derogatory remark against women, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has dared CM Devendra Fadnavis to act against the errant BJP member. While addressing the media at his party office yesterday, he added that no party should ever give Kadam a poll ticket in the future. "The CM should show some courage in taking action against Kadam for insulting women," he said, while appealing to political parties to keep Kadam away from electoral politics. Kadam, who was one of the MNS members who switched sides ahead of the 2014 elections, represents the BJP from Ghatkopar.

Kadam had come under severe criticism for offering help a boy in love by abducting a girl who does not approve of his advances. He was heard in a video that went viral on social media and was later picked up several TV channels. "You may meet me and seek my assistance. If you tell me that you have proposed to a girl and she says no to you, I will help you 100 per cent. I will tell you to bring your parents to me first, and if they, too, like the girl, I will kidnap her and hand her over to you. You can take my mobile number and call me."
