Maha Yuti in Maha mess as minister surrenders his dance bar licence
The New Indian Express Tirupati
|August 02, 2025
AFTER Manikrao Kokate was removed as Maharashtra agriculture minister and given sports portfolio following the rummy video row, minister for state (home) Yogesh Kadam of the Shiv Sena (Shinde) surrendered a dance bar licence that created a controversy.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab raised the Sawali dance bar issue and demanded the minister's resignation of Yogesh Kadam. "Surrendering the licence is an admission of guilt. If Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis does not sack Kadam, it will send a wrong message," Parab said. Earlier, he claimed that the police recently carried out raids at the bar owned by Kadam's mother, where they found 23 bar dancers.
